Showcasing some of the most compelling and thought-provoking documentary and photojournalistic photography from around the world, the World Press Photo 2025 competition has unveiled its regional winners. The contest honours photographers who tell tales that shape our era by bringing attention to urgent political, social, and environmental concerns.
The stunning images in this year’s winners come from a variety of locations, such as war zones, natural disasters, historical sites, and instances of human resiliency. The hardships of displaced communities, the effects of climate change on indigenous lands, and powerful portraits of activists battling for justice are some of the images that stand out.
The event’s growing emphasis on under-represented narratives is one of its main highlights, as multiple photographers use their cameras to elevate voices that are frequently overlooked by the media. The winning photos convey stories that viewers find incredibly moving, from tragic scenes in war-torn areas to inspiring pictures of community solidarity.
The World Press Photo 2025 exhibition will tour globally, bringing these extraordinary images to audiences worldwide. For a closer look at this year’s winning images, visit the official website or attend the exhibition in a city near you.
