World Press Photo 2023

In the organizer's words:

SAVE THE DATE: The World Press Photo exhibition is coming to the Depot in Dortmund from October 21 to November 12, 2023!

Every year, the World Press Photo Foundation honors the best press photographs in an international competition. The award-winning photos are shown around the globe in a traveling exhibition and attract several million visitors.

Whether a single image or a series - the photographs are moving, provide insights into social and personal conflicts and offer a look back at important news-related events of the past year.

The main aim of the World Press Photo Foundation is to support and promote professional press photographers internationally.

This year's World Press Photo exhibition will not only feature a selection of the current award-winning photos: For the first time, we are showing the so-called Winners Wall, which features all the photographs that have been awarded the title Press Photo of the Year since the competition's premiere in 1955.

A photographic journey through the past decades - with many images that have shaped entire generations.

Accompanying the World Press Photo Exhibition 2023, the Artist Talk with the award winners Anush Babajanyan and Jonas Kakó will take place on November 3, 2023 at 7 p.m.

The sweetSixteen cinema in the depot will be showing the film "Dear Memories - A journey with Magnum photographer Thomas Hoepker" from 02.11. - 08.11.2023 at 17:00.
