Regular visitors will notice that this edition puts the image more centrestage than previously. Based on the results of our questionnaire last year, we are concentrating on what our visitors do best – taking, making and studying photographs and learning about the wonderful world of photojournalism.

So, in this edition we have more galleries than usual, five in all. They come from Eastern Europe and Asia and most of them reflect the troubled times in which we live.

We also have our Masterclass feature in which people who have attended the World Press Photo Joop Swart Masterclass share their experiences.

And, to the right, we have our regular Picture Power, in which photographic editors from leading publications explain why certain images are chosen to illustrate stories.

In the meantime we are also looking into developing what we hope will be a more interactive Enter so that members of the World Press Photo educational family can keep in touch not only with the organization but also with each other.

So please do let us know what you might like to see in a renewed Enter. Tell us by clicking here.




Picture Power highlights images from around the world which have caught a photo editor’s eye. Click on an image to see a higher-resolution version and read about how and why that image was chosen for prominence on the page.
