The annual World Press Photo Exhibition is the best known of World Press Photo's activities and a leading event in the organization's calendar.
Every year following the World Press Photo Contest, the winning images go on show. The exhibition is officially opened in Amsterdam as part of the prize-giving ceremony in April, and until March the next year can be seen at venues around the globe. The tour program takes in over 80 cities worldwide and is still expanding.
The exhibition is a showcase for creativity in photojournalism and a platform for developments in the profession, part of World Press Photo's aim of encouraging and stimulating the work of press photographers around the world. The show also attracts a broader public, and because of the wide-ranging focus of the contest forms an eyewitness record of world events of the previous year.
