Now On: World Press Photo Exhibition In Budapest (See Video Clip)
- 9 Oct 2013 9:02 AM
The World Press Photo Expo is described as "an extensive mirror on the modern world, an event important to both visual culture and historical scholarship". It may also be said, without exaggeration, that the exhibit is one of the most popular cultural events in Budapest at the Museum of Ethnography, until 27 October 2013.
World Press Photo is dedicated to supporting photojournalism and documentary photography worldwide, and to stimulating high standards. We strive to generate wide public interest in photography, to build appreciation for photographers’ work, and to encourage the free exchange of information.
Each year, World Press Photo invites photographers from across the globe to participate in the World Press Photo Contest, the top photojournalism competition worldwide. An independent international jury of 19 experts judges all entries in Amsterdam, and an annual exhibition takes the prizewinning images to 100 locations in 45 countries. It is seen by millions of visitors.
Among our other activities are an annual contest for multimedia, exhibitions on a variety of current themes, and the stimulation of photojournalism through educational programs.
World Press Photo is run as an independent, non-profit organization with its office in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, where World Press Photo was founded in 1955.
