Bari, World Press Photo Exhibition 2024 extended until December 31st.

World Press Photo Exhibition Bari 2024 will remain open to the public until December 31st. Following the great response obtained from October 11th to today, it has been decided to extend the closure of the most prestigious photojournalism exhibition in the world set up in the Teatro Margherita.

Organized by Cime and promoted by the Puglia Region and Puglia Culture, in collaboration with the Municipality of Bari and with the partnership of the University of Bari Aldo Moro and the Piccinni Conservatory, for the eleventh year in a row the exhibition tells the lives, stories and emotions crystallized in the shots taken by the most important international photojournalists: stories of women and men, of wars, of migrations, of major issues that concern the planet at all latitudes, from poverty to political unrest, from the climate crisis to civil and social rights.

There are 130 winning photos in this 67th edition of the contest, whose exhibition is curated this year by Martha Echevarria: images selected from 61.062 candidate photographs and taken by 3.851 photographers from 130 countries around the world. These are works of photojournalism and documentary photography by professional photographers from major international newspapers, from Reuters to the New York Times, from the Washington Post to National Geographic, from the BBC to CNN, from the Times to Le Monde to El Pais. Photographs that represent, once again, an authentic window on the world allowing viewers to take a critical journey through the events that characterized 2023.

In particular, these are shots that offer a global story through a geographical division of the competition that allows for a broad view of all the regions of the planet: Africa, Asia, Europe, North and Central America, South America, Southeast Asia and Oceania. For each of the six geographical areas of reference, a jury decreed the regional winners for the four competition categories: Single Photo, Stories, Long-Term Projects and Open Format.
