The World Press Photo Contest was first created in 1955 by five Dutch photographers who wanted to bring global attention to their work. Six and a half decades later, it has achieved worldwide reputation, becoming one of the most coveted prizes while making direct impacts on the photojournalism industry itself. The contest now finds itself at a historic crossroad, faced with rising decolonization and social justice movements around the world, as well as calls to mitigate power imbalances between the Global North and South that have been gaining momentum within the sector in recent years.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a leading institution in photojournalism, the World Press Photo Foundation has to mull over the ‘world’ part in its name, revising its origin and rethinking its well-established organizational structures. \u201cThe photos of the founders, seen today, don\u2019t tell a very radical story; they show a group of middle-aged, white men, deciding whose work was important\u201d, Joumana El Zein Khoury, the newly appointed executive director of World Press Photo Foundation, said on the organization\u2019s official website.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
