50 Years Of The World Press Photo of the Year

World Press Photo began with a competition, and the competition is still at the core of the foundation's activities. Held annually, the World Press Photo contest creates an overview of how press photographers tackle their work worldwide. It is the only international event of this stature, not simply bringing together pictures from all parts of the globe but also reflecting trends and developments in photojournalism, and revealing how the press gives us the news.
