'World Press Photo Exhibition 2017', On Until 23 Oct
The World Press Photo Exhibition 2017 is a global exhibition presenting the best visual journalism of the past year. Visit to see the most compelling photos in stunning high-quality prints.

It was formed in 1955 when a group of Dutch photographers organized a contest to expose their work to international colleagues.

This annual contest has grown into one of the most prestigious awards in photojournalism and multimedia storytelling, and the exhibition it produces is seen by more than three and a half million people worldwide each year.

We work to develop and promote quality visual journalism because people deserve to see their world and express themselves freely. Freedom of information, freedom of inquiry and freedom of speech are more important than ever, and quality visual journalism is essential for the accurate and independent reporting that makes these freedoms possible.

Today, when the world, the press, and photography itself are undergoing seismic changes, this expo strives to help both visual journalists and their audience understand and respond to these transformations so these freedoms can be secured.
