The renowned World Press Photo Foundation ("Connecting the world to the stories that matter") publishes a compilation of prizewinning press photographs each year. Carefully selected from thousands of entries, they present the most celebrated, powerful, moving, and often disturbing images from around the world, often putting a face on conflicts in far-flung places and reminding us of our shared humanity. The 2022 Yearbook, bringing together the best press photographs from 2021, will reflect the joy, anguish, and upheaval of this incredible year.

Beginning in 1962, the World Press Photo Foundation has had an annual book published, featuring all prize-winning entries. 2020's Yearbook will prove to be another must-have edition, bringing together the very best press photographs from 2019, carefully selected from thousands of powerful, moving and sometimes disturbing images.

Since 1955, the annual World Press Photo Contest has set the standard in visual journalism. The 2023 Yearbook showcases the most striking press photographs and compelling reports from 2022, carefully selected from thousands of entries by six regional and one global jury of acclaimed independent professionals. Providing a diversity of perspectives from all over the world, the awarded works bear witness to the events that shaped this past year, and document in long-term projects the ongoing issues we face. Recognizing the importance of photojournalism and documentary photography at a time, when the truth is contsted, the awarded images share courageous stories and present invaluable insights - from war, and the struggle for civil rights and political empowerment, to the visible impact of the climate crisis that could be felt in 2022 more acutely than ever.
