In January 2009, Demotix as we know it today was launched. Since then, we've had over 125,000 images from over 100 countries and made sales to most of the world's biggest TV channels, newspapers, magazines and websites. Demotix has led the news agenda with stories from London, Boston and Tehran. All of this - every last bit - is thanks to you, our 11,000 contributors. In one year, you've made Demotix a vibrant community and, we think, the home of some of the best photojournalism anywhere. We are excited to see what you will make in 2010.
We've put together a summary of the best stories from 2009. Join us in looking back to A Year of Demotix.
