As PDN's Photo Annual marks another year of extraordinary photography, we honor the contest winners who grace the following pages.

From Lauren Greenfield's heart-wrenching multimedia project, "Thin," to Gary Schneider's hauntlingly beautiful photo story about obesity, this year's contest was a study in extremes. Whether it be apoignant social statement, such as Jan Grarup's Newsweek documentation of the devastation in Darfur, or a perfectly nutty ad campaign like Lyndon Wade's for Nestle Crunch, each image has its own identity, worthy of recognition.  

Thanks to all the judges, photographers, designers, editors and agents who participated in this issue. We'd also like to extend our gratitude to our sponsors–Canon, Epson and Nikon–whose continued support for photographers and their work makes the PDN Photo Annual possible. Each year, these companies, along with Parsons The New School for Design, and for the first year, ASMP, have provided cash awards, prizes and scholarships to our winners.
