From festivals and picnics to pubs and private parties, alcohol is an integral part of British life. In November the government announced plans to end the long-standing law requiring pubs to close at 11pm. Proposed new licensing laws will allow 24-hour opening, yet will introduce a range of conditions to reduce anti-social behavior.
Through our education programs, the World Press Photo Foundation encourages diverse accounts of the world that present stories with different perspectives.
Our exhibitions showcase stories that make people stop, feel, think and act to a worldwide audience.
Our annual contest recognizes and rewards the best in photojournalism and documentary photography.
