About World Press Photo
World Press Photo is a global platform that connects photojournalists, documentary photographers and the global public through reliably inspiring visual stories. It was founded in 1955 when a group of Dutch photographers organized a contest (“World Press Photo”) to bring their work to an international audience. Since then, their mission has expanded. The World Press Photo Contest has grown to become the most prestigious in the world, rewarding the best work in photojournalism and documentary photography from around the globe. Through a worldwide exhibition programme, World Press Photo presents the stories that matter to millions of people.
The World Press Photo Foundation is an independent non-profit organisation based in Amsterdam. World Press Photo appreciates the support of strategic partners; the Nationale Postcode Loterij and PwC.
