The Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Estonia, in cooperation with the Estonian Association for Press Photographers, Overall Eesti AS, AS GO Group and Postimees, will bring the World Press Photo Exhibition 2019 to Tallinn.

For over six decades, the World Press Photo Foundation has been working from its home in Amsterdam as an independent, nonprofit organization. It all began in 1955 when a group of Dutch photographers organized an international contest - “World Press Photo” - to expose their work to a global audience. Soon, the step was taken to creating an annual contest, which has been held almost every year since then. Today, World Press Photo finds itself in the position where it not only runs the world’s most prestigious contest of photojournalism, but administers the world’s widest-ranging annual photo exhibition and offers a breadth of related activities.

The annual World Press Photo Exhibition showcases the best visual journalism of the last year. The exhibition premieres each year in Amsterdam in April, before beginning its worldwide tour.
