World Press Photo Auckland 2025

The annual World Press Photo Contest recognises the best photojournalism and documentary photography produced over the last year.

The World Press Photo Contest has recognised professional press and documentary photographers since it began in 1955. 

The 2025 contest again has six worldwide regions – Africa, Asia, Europe, North & Central America, South America, and Southeast Asia & Oceania and four categories (Single, Story, Long Term Project and Open Format). The winning entries from the six regions in each category form this incredible exhibition with four global winners chosen.

The exhibition is brought to Auckland by the Rotary Club of Auckland as a fundraiser for charity.

 

The exhibition is also going to Wellington from Friday 5 September - Sunday 5 October 2025 and will be held at the Ground Floor: TAKINA Wellington Convention and Exhibition Centre – next to Te Papa – National Museum of New Zealand.
