The World Press Photo Festival 2018

The World Press Photo Festival 2018 will take place in Amsterdam on 13 - 14 April.

For the first time our annual festival is taking place at Amsterdam’s Westergasfabriek - a new location chosen to offer a richer program with more exciting opportunities to discover the best of visual journalism and storytelling.

Expect a varied program including presentations, workshops and meetups. The festival features special guests speakers including award-winning visual journalists, and the renowned Sem Presser Lecture, supported by DuPho.

The flagship World Press Photo Exhibition 2018, displaying prize-winners’ work from the photo and digital storytelling contests, premiers at De Nieuwe Kerk during the festival before starting its world tour, giving festival ticket holders the chance to be among the very first to discover the exhibition.

The brand new Yearbook 2018 will be launched and available to buy for the first time at the festival site and De Nieuwe Kerk.
