"Afternoon Game"
by Krisanne Johnson
A young Old German Baptist woman plays basketball with friends after dinner at her parents' farm. Sports play a large role in the Old German Baptist community by giving other young members a chance to meet and socialize. Members can not use the Internet, watch television or listen to music.

The annual Pictures of the Year International (POYi) awards ceremony will be held at the University of Miami Cosford Cinema on Thursday evening, April 21 from 7:30 pm until 9:00 pm and also in the Cosford on Friday, April 22 from 9 am to 5 pm.   

POYi, in its 62nd year, is the oldest and one of the most prestigious photojournalism contests in the world. This year’s award ceremony is particularly special because it will be the first time that it will be held at a university other than the University of Missouri.  It was held at the Newseum in Washington DC for five years.  

The ceremony’s audience will include many of the world’s top photojournalists, and the guest speaker will be world-reknowned documentary photographer Eugene Richards.

Receptions will be sponsored by the South Florida Sun Sentinel and the Los Angeles Times on Thursday evening and by the Miami Herald on Friday evening.
