Publishing the results of the most recent annual World Press Photo Contest, this exceptional book contains the very best press photographs from the year 2010 – pictures submitted by photojournalists, picture agencies, newspapers and magazines throughout the world.

Universally recognised as the definitive competition for photographic reporting, it has been described by Michael Rand as ‘the international photographic contest’.

Selected from thousands of images, these prizewinning photos capture the most powerful, moving and sometimes disturbing images of the year.
