World press photo open call 2025

The annual World Press Photo Contest recognizes and celebrates the best photojournalism and documentary photography produced over the last year. Entering is free and prizes include up to €10,000, inclusion in our annual traveling exhibition, and more.

Entries for the 2025 World Press Photo Contest are now open until Friday 10 January 2025, 13.00 CET.  We want the annual contest to be a platform where a multiplicity of voices can be heard-and stories can be seen-so that the results truly are reflective of our world.
