WORLD PRESS PHOTO FOUNDATION
Mission: Connecting the world to the stories that matter.
Founded in 1955, World Press Photo is an independent, nonprofit organisation based in the Netherlands. Since then their annual contest has grown into one of the world’s most prestigious photo competitions, recognising the best in photojournalism and documentary photography from around the world. They celebrate their 70th anniversary this year.
The annual and thematic exhibitions reach millions of people in over 80 locations around the world each year, and their online work reaches millions more. Through a range of educational programs they create opportunities for learning, dialogue, and exchange among photography professionals and the general public.

Moxy
Just around the corner from Here East, Moxy London Stratford is proud to be a partner of this year’s World Press Photo Exhibition. With Stratford station a few minutes away, getting here, or getting anywhere across London, is simple. Whether you’re arriving from across town or touching down at Heathrow. But what really sets us apart isn’t just location. It’s the buzz at the bar when you check in (yes, the first cocktail’s on us), the spaces made for kicking back or catching up, and the kind of welcome that makes you feel like you already belong. There’s room to play, to plug in, or to do absolutely nothing at all, and that’s how we know you’ll love us.
