Cultuur / Recreatie / Toerisme
For six decades, the World Press Photo Foundation has been working from its home in Amsterdam as an independent, nonprofit organization. In that time, the world has changed continuously, and new developments in the media and technology have transformed journalism and storytelling. Our mission has expanded, and we draw on our experience to guide visual journalists, storytellers, and audiences around the world through this challenging and exciting landscape.
With our worldwide exhibitions, events and festival, we showcase stories that make people stop, feel, think and act. Our annual contests reward the best in visual journalism and digital storytelling. Our programs - the 6x6 Global Talent Program, the African Photojournalism Database, the Joop Swart Masterclass, the Solutions Visual Journalism Initiative, and the West Africa Visual Journalism Fellowship - encourage diverse accounts of the world that present stories with different perspectives.
