For the 2025 World Press Photo Contest, the winners will be chosen by regional and global juries. Regional juries, made up of five professionals from and/or working in that region, first prepare a selection of entries per region. From this selection, a global jury, made up of the six regional jury chairs and the global jury chair, then awards the winners. Find out more about the judging process.
A total of 42 winners will be awarded; three Singles, three Stories and one Long-Term Project per region (Africa; Asia Pacific and Oceania; Europe; North and Central America; South America; and West, Central and South Asia). The World Press Photo of the Year is then chosen from all the winning entries.
With the 2025 World Press Photo Contest there has been an increase in award winners. You can read more about the changes to the contest in this article.
