World Press Photo winners revealed
April 16, 2021
The World Press Photo Foundation has announced the winners of the World Press Photo of the Year, World Press Photo Story of the Year, World Press Photo Interactive of the Year, and World Press Photo Online Video of the Year.
Photo of the Year
The jury selected Mads Nissen’s photograph The First Embrace as the World Press Photo of the Year. In the image, Rosa Luzia Lunardi (85) is embraced by nurse Adriana Silva da Costa Souza, at Viva Bem care home, São Paulo, Brazil, on 5 August 2020.
“This iconic image of COVID-19 memorialises the most extraordinary moment of our lives, everywhere,” said jury member and photographer, Kevin WY Lee. “I read vulnerability, loved ones, loss and separation, demise, but, importantly, also survival all rolled into one graphic image. If you look at the image long enough, you’ll see wings: a symbol of flight and hope.”
2021 Photo Contest and 2021 Digital Storytelling Contest headline winners announced
The World Press Photo Foundation is proud to present the winners of the World Press Photo of the Year, World Press Photo Story of the Year, World Press Photo Interactive of the Year, and World Press Photo Online Video of the Year.
The winners were announced at an online Awards Show on 15 April 2021 at 17:00 CEST. The category winners were announced on World Press Photo’s online channels on 15 April at 15:00 CEST.
“2020 was a difficult year, and today we recognize the visual storytellers that put their lives at risk to present us with important stories about our world. The stories and productions awarded today touched the jury because of the personal, human and hopeful angles that the visual storytellers gave to very difficult issues such as the COVID-19 pandemic, the Israel-Palestine conflict, and the Black Lives Matter protests following the murder of George Floyd,” said Joumana El Zein Kho
