"FOTOBAMA: Picturing the President" features images from the historic campaign, election and inauguration of Barack Obama. With a wide array of perspectives, the exhibit chronicles the campaign that captivated Americans and led them to embrace the country’s first black president. Amateur and professional photographers were invited to submit photographs to the FOTOBAMA competition, which received more than 1,500 entries. A panel of noted photojournalists and photo editors selected 25 finalists in each of four categories. First and second place were awarded in each group. "Best in Show" went to Associated Press photographer Chris Carlson for his image of Obama being swamped by supporters after clinching the Democratic nomination.
