Every year since 1958, an international jury has met in the Netherlands under the auspices of the World Press Photo Foundation to choose the world’s finest press photographs. Universally recognised as the definitive competition for photographic reportage, it has been described by Michael Rand as “the international photographic contest”. Publishing the results of the latest annual World Press Photo Contest, this exceptional book contains the very best press photographs from 2016 – pictures submitted by approximately 6,000 photojournalists, photo agencies, newspapers and magazines from about 125 countries. Selected from around 100,000 images, these prize-winning photos capture the most powerful, moving and disturbing images of the year. “Will amuse, sadden, console and ultimately teach you much about this world of ours.” People Photography
