Deadline: 12th January, 2020
Our annual contests recognize and celebrate the best visual journalism produced over the last year. An independent jury selects the prize-winning photographs and productions.
This year presents a first for the World Press Photo Foundation. Every year we look forward to welcoming industry professionals from all over the world to Amsterdam to judge the best of visual storytelling. Due to the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic, judging will take place online and jury chairs will be joined digitally by a team of experts from around the world to decide on the best visual storytelling of 2020.
The 2021 Digital Storytelling Contest and 2021 Photo Contest are open for entries until 12 January 2021 12.00 (noon) CET. Entering the contests is free and open to all professional visual journalists around the world.
