The World Press Photo Foundation<\/strong> announced the Photo of the year<\/strong> this morning and two finalists<\/strong> of the 2026 World Press Photo Contest, awarding the world\u2019s best photojournalism and documentary photography.<\/p>\n

The Photo of the Year\u00a02026<\/strong> winner was taken inside one of the few US federal buildings where photographers were granted access \u2013 a single hallway where photographer Carol Guzy<\/strong> and others showed up, day after day, to document what was happening. It captures a harrowing moment: a family separated by the state. What Carol Guzy has documented is not an isolated instance, but a policy indiscriminately applied to people who arrive for hearings in good faith. It is evidence and documentation of a government policy being applied systematically to people who followed the rules they were given.<\/p>\n

\u00a9 Carol Guzy<\/strong>, ZUMA Press, iWitness, for Miami Herald<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cThis image shows the inconsolable grief of children losing their father in a place built for justice. It is a stark and necessary record of family separation following the US reform policies. In a democracy, the camera\u2019s presence in that hallway serves as a witness to a policy that has turned courthouses into sites of shattered lives \u2013 it is a powerful example of why independent photojournalism matters.\u201d points out Joumana El Zein Khoury, Executive Director World Press Photo<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

You will find this large-format photograph on display from 26 August to 12 October 2026<\/strong> at the March\u00e9 Bonsecours <\/strong>during the 19th Montreal World Press Photo Expo edition.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
