An annual compilation of the best journalistic photography from around the world.
The World Press Photo Foundation is a major force in developing and promoting the work of visual journalists and storytellers globally. Established in 1955 by Dutch photographers seeking to share their work and knowledge internationally, its annual contest has evolved into one of the most prestigious awards in photojournalism and digital storytelling. This esteemed competition generates an exhibition seen by millions worldwide each year, establishing the Foundation as far more than just an award. It champions freedom of expression, speech, and the press, recognizing quality visual journalism as essential for accurate, independent reporting that upholds these freedoms. In an era of rapid change for media and photography, the Foundation actively supports visual journalists and their audiences in navigating these transformations, ensuring freedoms are secured and creativity can flourish.




An annual compilation of the best journalistic photography from around the world.
The renowned World Press Photo Foundation (“Connecting the world to the stories that matter”) publishes a compilation of prizewinning press photographs each year. Carefully selected from thousands of entries, they present the most celebrated, powerful, moving, and often disturbing images from around the world, often putting a face on conflicts in far-flung places and reminding us of our shared humanity. The 2022 Yearbook, bringing together the best press photographs from 2021, will reflect the joy, anguish, and upheaval of this incredible year.
Every year since 1958 an international jury has convened in the Netherlands under the auspices of the World Press Photo Foundation to choose the world's finest press photographs. Universally recognized as the definitive competition for photographic reportage, it has been described by former art director of The Sunday Times, Michael Rand, as "the international photographic contest." Publishing the results of the latest annual World Press Photo Contest, this exceptional book contains the very best press photographs from 2015-pictures submitted by photojournalists, picture agencies, newspapers, and magazines throughout the world. Selected from thousands, these prizewinning photos capture the most powerful, moving, and sometimes disturbing images of the year.
