The British Press Photographers’ Association present their annual exhibition, ‘Assignments 2024 – The BPPA Exhibition’, in Port Sunlight. It is the first time the exhibition has been presented in Merseyside and follows a successful showcase in London’s Southbank.
The free exhibition is a showcase of the best 100 photographs from members of The BPPA, celebrating the best of press photography. Over the summer, a changing display of these photographs will take over Bridge Cottage, one of Port Sunlight’s most distinctive Arts and Crafts-style houses.
Curated by five leading industry figures, this year’s exhibition covers stories from March 2023 through to the spring of 2024 and will feature everything from sports and entertainment through to politics and protest with royals, celebrities, and global events as seen through the eyes of the association’s photographers.
Founded in the mid-1980s, The BPPA has sought to promote and inspire the highest ethical, technical, and creative standards from within the industry, and once again is set to deliver an exhibition of photographs from the cutting edge of journalism.
Thanks to the support of Canon UK, Assignments 2024 is FREE to attend, with donations to Port Sunlight Village Trust welcome. It is open from Saturday 8th June until Sunday 1st September, Wednesday–Sunday, 10am–4pm (closed 12-1pm) at Bridge Cottage, Park Road, Port Sunlight CH62 4UP.
This year’s curators were photojournalist David Burnett, Reuters UK and Ireland Chief Photographer Suzanne Plunkett, photojournalist Steve Back, Press Association photographer Jane Barlow, and Getty Images sports photographer Justin Setterfield.
