The exhibition is conceived by the World Press Photo Foundation of Amsterdam, promoted by Roma Capitale - Department of Culture and organized by the Special Company Palaexpo in collaboration with 10b Photography.

 

The names of the four global winners of the 2022 edition were announced on 7 April at 12 pm through the foundation's online channels; for this 65th edition, global and regional juries made up of international experts have received the works of 64,823 photos and projects, invited by 4,066 photographers from 130 countries.

Amber Bracken is the winner of the photo of the year of the 2022 edition of the World Press Photo. The shot, titled Kamloops Residential School, shows a row of clothes hanging from wooden crosses along a road, in remembrance of indigenous children who died at Kamloops Indian Residential School, following the detection of 215 presumed unmarked graves that may belong to children who attended school in Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada. 

Global jury chair Rena Effendi about this image: "It is a kind of image that sears itself into your memory, it inspires a kind of sensory reaction. I could almost hear the quietness in this photograph, a quiet moment of global reckoning for the history of colonization, not only in Canada but around the world."
 
The winner of the World Press Photo Story of the Year award was Matthew Abbott with his story about Australians indigenous and their practices to preserve forests. Lalo de Almeida and Isadora Romero respectively won the other two novelty awards of this year, the World Press Photo Long-Term Project Award and the World Press Photo Open Format Award.
