The Bard Fortress hosts the new edition of World Press Photo, the most prestigious photojournalism award in the world. Now running for the 67th year, it was conceived in 1955 by the World Press Photo Foundation, an independent non-profit organisation based in Amsterdam.
This year, 4066 photographers from 130 countries entered the competition, submitting a total of 64,823 candidate images. The entries were assessed by regional panels of judges and a global panel of 31 judges.
