The international World Press Photo exhibition has been recognized since 1955 as the largest and most prestigious annual press photography competition in the world. As retrospective of the year’s most significant events, it brings together more than 150 award-winning images in eight categories that resonate with current events: News, General Information, Contemporary Subjects, Portraits, Environment, Nature, Sports and Long-Term Projects. The winners were chosen by an independent jury that reviewed more than 60,448 photographs entered by 3,752 photographers.
