Nineteenth edition of the World Press Photo in which the photographs and multimedia pieces that have received this prestigious international award for photojournalism are exhibited. In this photographic exhibition held at the CCCB you will find the photographs deserving of the award in the 2023 edition.

The exhibition is considered worldwide as the most important in the field of photojournalism and stands out for the quality of its photographs, as well as for the debate and criticism generated by each work exhibited, without censorship or manipulation.

The World Press Photo contest divides the world into six regions to ensure greater representation and diversity of authors and stories, so that currently regional prizes are awarded and global prizes are chosen from among the regional winners.

About the 2024 edition

The exhibition of the current edition, the 20th, includes the 24 winning projects, among which is the Photo of the Year that illustrates this article. In it we can see a Palestinian woman embracing her dead niece after being hit by an Israeli missile. Also included is a report by Spanish photographer Jaime Rojo on the actions being taken to save monarch butterflies.

Apart from the winning projects, there are also six honorable mentions (one for each region) and two special mentions with which the jury wanted to highlight two photographs that coincide in showing people alone -Israeli in one case, Palestinian in the other- in scenarios in which dramatic deadly attacks have taken place.

Apart from the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, other themes that have won awards at this year's World Press Photo are the war in Ukraine, the climate crisis, mental health, migration and family ties.

The event will feature, as usual, international guests, complementary activities and guided tours for the general public, school groups or companies.
