Migrants crossing the border from Serbia into Hungary. Hope for a New Life by Warren Richardson.
59th World Press Photo judges have deliberated long and hard. The refugee crisis in Europe, the war in Syria, the Paris attacks, the devastating earthquake in Nepal and the clashes in the US set off by police shootings dominated the entries as well as the winning images.
The top prize goes to Australian photographer Warren Richardson with his “haunting” picture of a father passing a child under barbed wire.
All winning photographs and entries are due to be exhibited at the Nieuwe Kerk in Amsterdam in accordance to tradition for the contest.
