The annual World Press Photo Contest recognises the best photojournalism and documentary photography produced over the last year.

The World Press Photo Contest has recognised professional press and documentary photographers since it began in 1955. The 2023 contest has six worldwide regions – Africa, Asia, Europe, North & Central America, South America, and Southeast Asia & Oceania and four categories (Single, Story, Long Term Project and Open Format). The winning entries from the six Regions in each category form this incredible exhibition with four global winners chosen.

We need your help to continue providing a year-round programme of online reviews, interviews, portfolios, videos and listings that is free for everyone to access. We’d also like to dream bigger with the services we offer to photographers and the visual arts.
We’ve partnered with Press Patron to give readers the opportunity to support PhotoForum Online.
