🌍 Documenting some of the most pressing issues facing the world today, the 2024 World Press Photo Contest awarded photos and stories were selected by an independent jury from more than 61,000 entries. Watch the global jury explain why they picked each of the winning works. The annual World Press Photo Contest, which recognizes and celebrates the best photojournalism and documentary photography produced over the last year, works with a system that includes six regions: Africa, Asia, Europe, North and Central America, South America, and Southeast Asia and Oceania. Entries are judged based on where the photographs and stories are shot. The judging of the contest involves six regional juries and a global jury composed of the six regional jury chairs and one additional member, the global jury chair. The regional juries first make a selection of entries per category in their regions, after which the global jury decides on the winners.
