The World Press Photo Exhibition 2023 returns to Brisbane Powerhouse on its worldwide tour, showcasing 122 individual images of the best and most important photojournalism from around the globe.
For its 66th edition, the contest saw 3,752 photographers from 127 countries enter 60,448 photographs.
Representing major news events and important moments overlooked by the mainstream media in 2022, the 2023 World Press Photo Contest winning works call attention to some of the most pressing issues facing the world today – from the devastating documentation of the war in Ukraine and historic protests in Iran, to the realities in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan, and the many faces of the climate crisis in countries ranging from Morocco to Australia to Peru to Kazakhstan.
Providing a variety of perspectives from all corners of the globe, the World Press Photo Exhibition 2023 invites viewers to step outside the news cycle, and think critically about important topics in our world.
The World Press Photo Foundation is supported by its strategic partners, the Dutch Postcode Lottery and PwC.
