In each of the six regions of our contest model, a selection of entries per category will first be made by a regional jury, chaired by the regional jury chair.
The juries are made up of professionals from and/or working in the region they are judging, who are well-equipped to place the stories into a cultural, political and social context.
Once the regional juries have made their selection of entries, the global jury, composed of the six regional jury chairs and one additional member, the global jury chair, decides on the 2025 World Press Photo Contest winners. From those, they will then choose the World Press Photo of the Year and the two runners-up.
The global jury is assisted by a secretary. The secretary is responsible for all procedural matters and ensures the rules and procedures are fairly and properly applied. The secretary does not contribute to debate on the merits of any entry, and has no vote in the balloting.
