Welcome to the World Press Photo Contest Archive

Link: Welcome to the World Press Photo Contest Archive:

For over fifty years the World Press Photo contest has captured images of our times. Our archive of winning photos is not only a record of more than half a century of human history, but a showcase of successive styles in photography and reportage.

The archive gallery comprises some 10,000 images. It includes photos that have become icons, by some of the leading names in the profession. World Press Photo has put them online with the aim of sharing our knowledge, resources and experience with the widest possible network.

This site was made possible with the support of the Mondriaan Foundation and VSB Foundation.
