Hannah Reyes Morales and Kimberly dela Cruz are among the 24 regional winners of the 2023 World Press Photo Contest.
World Press Photo ContestWorld Press Photo Foundation said that the 24 winners and six honorable mentions covered “stories from the front lines of conflict, culture, identity, migration, memories of lost past and glimpses of near and distant futures.” They bested more than 60,000 entries by 3,752 entrants from 127 countries.
The Foundation explained: “In a country where they face discrimination, prejudice, and challenges amplified by their age and socioeconomic class, the group came together and made a home, sharing care responsibilities and staging shows and pageants to make ends meet. When their founder died in 2012, the community were evicted and some experienced homelessness until 2018, when they began renting a house in Manila.
Dela Cruz has been documenting the war on drugs of the Rodrigo Duterte administration since its outset, and the jury “commended her ability to capture the continued impact on families involved.” “Selecting these arresting winning images from tens of thousands of entries was a huge task for our independent jurors, all of whom demonstrated profound care, expertise and passion in reaching their decisions, delivering a stunning and globally balanced view of the past year,” World Press Photo Foundation executive director Joumana El Zein Khoury said of the 2023 contest.
