World Press Photos of the Year

RSS Archive

YoungGlobalCitizen.com tries to create a dialogue about the ideas of culturally sustaining development, global citizenship, travel, and identity. I may post an analysis of current events, a memory or photo from my travels, an inspirational quotation or song, or just an opinion. I believe that everyone in the world is amazing because we can all learn from every person, place, thing, and idea that we come into contact with and I believe that one day our world will be united with this kind of global appreciation. I would love to hear from any one, please contact me through the "Any Questions?" link below or at SSL332@nyu.edu.

Each year the World Press picks stunning photos to be awarded in various categories. The photos, all phenomenal, include portraits, nature, daily life, world issues, and more. They highlight some of the most important things happening in the world and shed light on some of the lesser known challenges that parts of the globe are facing.

Clicking on the title link above will send you to all of the category winners. The photo below was the overall winner. Its caption reads, “A woman holds a wounded relative in her arms, inside a mosque used as a field hospital by demonstrators against the rule of President Ali Abdullah Saleh, during clashes in Sanaa, Yemen on 15 October 2011.”
