Annual World Press Photo Competition 

The vote for Press Photo of the Year is taken during the World Press Photo Awards, hosted by the Dutch foundation World Press Photo. The creator of the winning entry receives €10,000 along with "the most prestigious and coveted award in photojournalism."[1]

Besides Press Photo of the Year, the 20-member jury awards three more prizes in eight categories (general news, spot news, sports, contemporary issues, daily life, portraits, nature and long-term projects), whereby both individual images and photo series are recognised for excellence.

The main prize is given to the image that "... is not only the photojournalistic encapsulation of the year, but represents an issue, situation or event of great journalistic importance, and does so in a way that demonstrates an outstanding level of visual perception and creativity."
