Every year since 1955, the World Press Photo competition and the related exhibition organized in many countries summarize the events of the last year with the help of authentic, emotional and thought-provoking photos from all over the world.

László L. Simon – general director National Museum also mentioned that several accompanying events will join the exhibition. National Geographic Hungary turned 20 this year. On the occasion of the anniversary, World Press Photo presents the most exciting and beautiful Hungarian materials from the magazine’s two decades at the accompanying exhibition at the National Museum.

Désirée Bonis – Ambassador of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Budapest, spoke about this year’s World Press Photo prize-winning photo. The first-prize photo is a strong reminder that there is still a war going on not far from Budapest, while the exhibition material clearly shows that in a period of austerity, in addition to economic difficulties the world also has to deal with the climate crisis. Furthermore, in his speech, he emphasized the importance of the free press, especially the currently protracted epidemic situation.

The photo of the year was Jevhen Maloletka‘s Air attack on the maternity ward of the Mariupol hospital.

Marika Cukrowsky – curator of this year’s exhibition, said: the biggest change in the almost seven-decade history of World Press Photo is that the pre-judging of the competition has been made regional, so a more comprehensive evaluation of local events can be expected. Before the global jury, entries sent from Africa, Asia, Europe, North and Central America, South America, Southeast Asia and Oceania are evaluated separately.

The World Press Photo exhibition can be visited until November, 5.2023.
