On 3 December 1955, the first annual exhibition ‘World Press Photo 55’ opened its doors. Believing in the power of showing and the importance of seeing high-quality visual stories, we have since organized nearly 3000 exhibitions, and over 130 education and outreach events, in 522 cities in 122 countries. Every year, we work with international partners on our exhibitions program as part of our mission to connect the world to the stories that matter.
Presenting the results of the foundation’s annual contests, the annual World Press Photo Exhibition showcases the best photojournalism and documentary photography of the last year. We also specially curate exhibitions and projects, working with themes in our archive.
Our annual exhibition premieres each year in Amsterdam in April, before beginning its worldwide tour.
