Hear from some of our former winners about how the work of World Press Photo has impacted their careers:
“Winning the World Press Photo award is a huge milestone that inspires, motivates and highlights my career as a documentary photographer from Myanmar. I am really thrilled that World Press Photo showcases my work, drawing attention to the connection between jade and conflict, so people around the world can see what is happening.” – Hkun Lat, Myanmar, photographer, 2021 World Press Photo Contest winner
“The award and recognition within photography and photojournalism will help me motivate and encourage other young people that are coming into the field to understand that journalism, most especially photojournalism, is not a field that you can be biased in. It is a kind of recognition that will allow me to tell more stories and get more passionate about telling stories about people, not only about politicians. It is about the people.” – Sodiq Adelakun, 2022 World Press Photo Contest winner
