World Press Photo displays the winning works of the World Press Photo Contest, held annually by the World Press Photo Foundation, headquartered in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The World Press Photo Contest recognises and celebrates the best photojournalism and documentary photography produced over the last year. This year approximately 60,000 photos and projects were submitted by approximately 4,000 people from 130 countries and regions, and works by 30 prize winners will be exhibited. The exhibition highlights the devastating human losses caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Israel’s attacks on the Gaza Strip, and the repression of civilians by Myanmar’s military regime. Environmental crises such as droughts in the Amazon, wildfires in Canada, and rising sea levels in the U.S. and Fiji—stemming from climate change—are also made vividly apparent.
