The World Press Photo Exhibition returns to Brisbane Powerhouse from July 29 to August 20, showcasing the best and most important photojournalism from around the globe.

Since 1955, the annual World Press Photo Contest has recognised professional press photographers, photojournalists and documentary photographers from around the world, for the best pictures taken in the past year across 8 categories: Contemporary Issues, Environment, General News, Long-Term Projects, Nature, Portraits, Sports and Spot News.

World Press Photo Exhibition

The 2023 Exhibition invites viewers to step outside the news cycle and think critically about important global topics, exploring themes including climate crisis, community and war’s impact on civilians while demonstrating the importance of press photography around the world.

World Press Photo Exhibition

This year's winning works call attention to some of the most pressing issues facing the world today – from the devastating documentation of the war in Ukraine and historic protests in Iran, to the realities in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan, and the many faces of the climate crisis in countries ranging from Morocco to Australia to Peru to Kazakhstan.

Good to know - Brisbane Powerhouse welcomes back key presenting partner Brisbane Airport Corporation, and joined, for the first time this year, by EVA Air. In celebration of the inaugural partnership, EVA Air will give World Press Photo Exhibition visitors the chance to win 2 return economy flights to Europe via its carrier network which include Amsterdam, London, Paris, Vienna, Milan, and Munich. Exhibition visitors need only to scan a digital entry form upon arrival to Brisbane Powerhouse to enter into the draw. The competition will run the entirety of the exhibition.

Brisbane Powerhouse is a valued partner of Must Do Brisbane.com
