University of Galway is hosting the exhibition of the Press Photography Ireland Awards 2025, featuring some of the most powerful moments in the world of news, sport, politics, arts and everyday life.
The gallery includes more than 100 photographs and is being displayed in the foyer of the Hardiman Building until the end of September.
All winning and shortlisted entries from the 47th annual awards hang in the exhibition, celebrating the very best in Irish press photography from 2024, both at home and abroad.
Among the highlights are award-winning images by Photographer of the Year James Crombie, who works with Inpho, one of Ireland’s leading sports photography agencies, and specialises in major sports events in Ireland and internationally, as well as nature. It is the third year in which he has won the coveted title.
Images are also in the exhibition from News Photographer of the Year Niall Carson, who works with PA Media, the leading news and sports agency for Ireland and the UK and specialises in current affairs and politics.
David Branigan, President of Press Photographers Ireland, said: "Photojournalism is the visual record of our life and times and especially in Ireland where we have a rich story-telling tradition it is especially cherished. The images presented in the AIB Press Photographer of the Year Award exhibition are the very best of truthful and accurate photography; these images anchor our reality, and it is an unmissable display."
