The 67th annual World Press Photo Contest announced its list of regional winners on Wednesday, with 10 photographers from the Americas making the list, which means they will also be competing for four global awards on April 18. The award recognizes and celebrates the best photojournalism and documentary photography produced over the previous year, which this time around included more than 61,000 entries.
The categories for the regional awards separate North and Central America in one category and South America in another. Both highlighted five photographers distributed in four categories: Single Photo, Story, Long-Term Project and Open Format. "The selection encourages greater understanding and awareness of current events, as well as serves as a reminder of the need for press freedom in all corners of the world", read the official statement from the 2024 jury.
