THE World Press Photo Digital Storytelling Contest invites applications for professional photography in combination with audio and visual elements like video, animation, graphics, illustrations, sound or text.

The competition features four categories based on genre: open format, long-term projects, stories, and singles. 

Entries on a broad range of themes may be submitted to the appropriate format-based category because these categories cover all thematic categories from previous rounds, including general news, spot news, contemporary concerns, environment, nature, sports, and portraits.

A winners’ event will be open to the winners. Each winner of the Photo Open Format Award, Photo Story of the Year, Photo Long-Term Project Award, and Photo of the Year will earn EUR5,000 (US$5,441).

Professional visual journalists can submit digital projects to the contest. Also, entries must have been published in 2023 in English or with subtitles in English.

The deadline is January 11, 2024. To begin registration, click here
