Once again this year Palazzo Esposizioni Roma will host the World Press Photo 2025 exhibition.
On April 17th the winning photos and the photo of the year of the 68th edition of the prestigious photojournalism contest that has rewarded the best professional photographers every year since 1955, helping to build the history of visual journalism worldwide, will be announced.
In 2025 59,320 entries were received by 3,778 photographers from 141 countries. The winning photos were chosen by six regional juries and the winners were selected by an independent global jury composed of the Presidents of the regional juries and the President of the global jury, Lucy Conticello (Director of Photography at M, the magazine of Le Monde) who said: ‘As much as the World Press Photo Contest award is an immense recognition for photographers, often working under difficult circumstances, it is also a recap of the world's major events, however incomplete. As a jury we were looking for pictures that people can start conversations around”.
