Singapore museum to display winning snaps
The World Press Photo Foundation has held its annual photo contest since 1955, attracting entries from photojournalists and freelance photographers from around the world.
The non-profit, Amsterdam- based organisation's objective is to develop and promote visual journalism.
This is one of the most prestigious awards in photojournalism and multimedia storytelling, and the winning photo of the year carries a cash prize of €10,000 (S$15,000). In addition, worldwide sponsor Canon will present the winning photographer with a selection of camera equipment.
See the winning photographs from the World Press Photo 2016 (WPP16) exhibition from March 3 to 26 at the National Museum of Singapore, the venue partner for the exhibition, brought to you by The Straits Times. The museum is open from 10am to 7pm daily. Admission to WPP16 is free.
