World Press Photo Yearbook 2024 | Édition Française

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!
