AIB Press Photographer of the Year Award 2025 exhibition at dlr Lexicon

Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council is delighted to have on display the annual awards exhibition of the Press Photographers Ireland at dlr LexIcon.

Now in its 47th year, the AIB Press Photographer of the Year Award celebrates the very best of Irish press photography.  The exhibition features all the winning and shortlisted images covering Irish life, at home and abroad, during 2024 and highlights the dedication and skill of Ireland’s top press photographers.

David Branigan, President of the Press Photographers Ireland, noted that

“Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council is proud to be the first to display this exhibition as part of its national tour.  We congratulate the press photographers for their achievements, and especially James Crombie for being this year’s overall winner.”
