Résumé

Independent photojournalism and documentary photography are indispensable tools of political education for a democratic society and an essential part of shaping public opinion?especially in our so-called 'post-factual' times. In recognition of this, the independent non-profit organization World Press Photo Foundation, based in Amsterdam, has been presenting the World Press Photo Award for the best photo, the best story, the best longterm project of the year for more than six decades. The winning images in the various categories tell bold stories and provide invaluable insights into the state of our world. The winning photo will be announced alongside the book launch and presented in a traveling exhibition. The excitement continues as we wait to see which images will be chosen from thousands of submissions?and, of course, which photo will become the cover illustration!
