World Press Photo 2024: le categorie del premio
Oggi le categorie del premio sono quattro: foto singole, storie, progetti a lungo termine e open format, dedicata a documentari brevi e altre opere visive. I vincitori sono stati scelti da una giuria globale e da sette giurie continentali (Africa, Asia, Europa, Nordamerica e Centramerica, Sudamerica, Sudest asiatico e Oceania) con un’unica presidente: Fiona Shields (The Guardian).
I vincitori finali della storia, del progetto al lungo termine, dell’open format e della foto dell’anno saranno annunciati il 18 aprile 2024 e le loro immagini faranno parte di una mostra che aprirà il 19 aprile alla Nieuwe Kerk di Amsterdam, nei Paesi Bassi, e sarà poi esposta in più di cinquanta paesi.
