In 1955 a group of Dutch photographers organized an international contest (ñWorld Press Photoî) to expose their work to a global audience. Since then the contest has grown into the worldÍs most prestigious photography competition, and through our successful worldwide exhibition program, presents the stories that matter to millions of people.
In the six decades the World Press Photo Foundation has been working from its home in Amsterdam as a creative, independent, nonprofit organization, the world has changed continuously, and new developments in the media and technology have transformed journalism and storytelling. Our mission has expanded, and we draw on our experience to guide visual journalists, storytellers, and audiences around the world through this challenging and exciting landscape.
We do this by showcasing stories that make people stop, feel, think and act. We encourage diverse accounts of the world that present stories with different perspectives. We exhibit those stories to a worldwide audience, educate the profession and the public on their making, and encourage debate on their meaning. We are a global platform connecting professionals and audiences through trustworthy visual journalism and storytelling.
