Starting May 12, 2022, the Boston Press Photographers Association installed the second annual outdoor exhibition in the organization’s 96 year history, featuring the award-winning images from the 2021 annual Pictures of the Year Contest. Hundreds of photographs and stories by over 20 photojournalists were on view in Boston’s Copley Square from May 12 through May 26, 2022, followed by a showing at Jamaica Pond (near the boat house) in Jamaica Plain from May 26 through June 11. The images were displayed on eight separate six-foot by six-foot "photo cubes." More info and pictures of the exhibition can be seen on the BPPA website.
