Eyes of History

On any given day, anywhere in the world, if you read the newspaper or news magazine or watch the news on television, you are likely to see an image captured by a member of the White House News Photographers Association. Founded in 1921, the WHNPA’s main goal was for the protection and promotion of photographers’ interests in pursuing their mission. Today, people around the world rely on our members for interesting, accurate and responsible coverage of the president, Congress and other major news events in Washington and around the world.

Yearly, since 1941, the WHNPA recognizes the very best in photojournalism through its ‘Eyes of History’ competition . Members of the WHNPA compete for the sought-after Still and Video Photographer of the Year award, Political Photo of the Year , the coveted Lifetime Achievement Award. The WHNPA also recognizes the best of New Media and holds a competition for student photographer of the year. These award -winning images are showcased annually in the ‘Eyes of History’ exhibition, hosted by museums and galleries around the Washington, D.C. area and around the United States. Please join us in celebrating the outstanding work of the White House News Photographers Association members.
