2024 World Press Photo Contest regional winners are Selected by an independent jury out of more than 61,000 entries by 3,851 photographers from 130 countries, the 2024 World Press Photo Contest winners, including honorable mentions are 31 photographers from 24 countries

Through the 129 photographs in this year's exhibition, we explore themes like dementia, war, youth unemployment, the climate crisis, migration, and identity. No matter the story—whether of joy or sorrow, reunion or separation—it always leads back to the concept of home. Home can be warm or distant, broken or rebuilt, filled with love, pain, or support.

Each year, the stories in the World Press Photo Exhibition may seem distant or deeply relevant. Whether they make you feel personal or remote, we hope they spark conversation, evoke emotion, and invite reflection. These stories of joy, sorrow, and struggle can deepen our empathy and understanding of the world.
