Sixty newspaper photographers submitted their best work for the School's "First Annual 50 Print Exhibition" (later Pictures of the Year). In 1948, the contest merged with Encyclopedia Britannica's news photography competition to create an annual contest and book called "The 100 Best Pictures of the Year." In 1946, the first College Photographer of the Year competition was held.
Some of the most luminary names in photography were involved in POY, including (first row) G.C. Yates, Julius Klyman and John Field; founder Cliff Edom; Murray Becker; (second row) John R. Whiting; Roy Stryker, Sam Schulman and Bob Beer; (third row) Jane Peterson and Whiting; Edward Steichen, Wilson Hicks and Joseph Sprague; (fourth row) Becker, Bob Ghio and Marie Hansen; plus photojournalism students who helped staff the competition.
