“Each photograph tells a story; from the gritty realities of life in a war-torn country to athletes pushing human limits and celebrity personalities captured in one still photo,” reported Ian Wood, NBC-6.

World Press Photo is known for organizing the world’s largest and most prestigious annual press photography contest. Prizewinning photographs are assembled into a traveling exhibition that is visited by over two million people in some 45 countries worldwide. A yearbook presenting all prizewinning entries is published annually in six languages. World Press Photo is also deeply concerned with stimulating developments in photojournalism and encouraging transfer of knowledge - organizing seminars, workshops and other educational projects all over the world.
