Stunning, impressive, shocking: it would be hard to find better words to describe the photographs of World Press Photo Exhibition. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The global platform of visual journalism and storytelling was founded in 1955 with the aim of connecting the audience and professionals. As an annual photo competition, it became the world\u2019s most prominent one of its kind, not only attracting the attention of millions of people worldwide but also initiating a dialogue that resonates with the viewers.<\/p>\n

He had just spent two years in prison which he described as being jointly run by the FARC and paramilitary groups, in other words, basically the same war as outside the walls.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Other than the awarding ceremony itself, the yearly festival, held in Amsterdam (the World Press Photo Foundation is a non-profit association located in the Netherlands), creates opportunity for people to participate at meetings and lectures, with unique photos and new perspectives playing a key role. The foundation\u2019s global partners are the Dutch Postcode Lottery, PwC, and WPPF.<\/p>\n
