World Press Photo Print Sale: 70 Prints for 70 Years — Own a Piece of History

Lone activist Ieshia Evans stands her ground while offering her hands for arrest as riot police charge towards her during a protest against police brutality outside the Baton Rouge Police Department in Louisiana, U.S. on July 9, 2016. Evans, a 27-year-old Pennsylvania nurse and mother to a young boy, traveled to Baton Rouge to protest the shooting of Alton Sterling, a 37-year-black man and father of five, who was shot at close range while being held down by two white police officers. The shooting, captured on cell phone videos, aggravated the unrest that has coursed through the United States for two years over the use of excessive force by police, especially against black men.

As part of the organization’s 70 year celebrations, World Press Photo has organized a print sale, where the collection tells the story of World Press Photo at 70. It includes winners of the annual World Press
Photo Contest, as well as work from Joop Swart Masterclass (JSM) participants, highlighting World Press Photo’s ongoing focus on education and the next generation of visual storytellers. This is the first time in the history of the organization that a print sale has been organized with solely World Press Photo Contest awarded works and images from JSM.

Each of the 70 images are available to purchase as a limited-edition, museum-quality, 20 x 30 cm,
available throughout the duration of the online sale only, priced at €150 ($180 / £135) unframed and

photographers who have shaped our collective memory of world events, and offered us new ways of
