World Press Photo is launching a special limited-time print sale featuring 70 photographs from photographers worldwide to commemorate its 70th anniversary. The collection includes powerful and iconic works such as Charlie Cole's famous "Tank Man" photograph from Beijing and an image from Diana Markosian's "The Cubanitas" series, alongside photographs by Vincent Mentzel, Forough Alaei, Émilie Regnier, and many others.
This marks the first time in the organization's history that a print sale has been organized exclusively featuring award-winning works from World Press Photo competitions and the Joop Swart Masterclass (JSM). The collection traces World Press Photo's 70-year journey, spanning from historically significant and widely recognized works to more recent and diverse perspectives that reflect the evolution of visual storytelling.
The sale also includes works from participants in the Joop Swart Masterclass, highlighting World Press Photo's continued commitment to education and nurturing the next generation of visual storytellers. Each of the 70 images will be available for purchase as limited-edition, museum-quality prints in a 20 x 30 cm format throughout the duration of the online-only sale.
Prices are set at €150 ($180 USD / £135 GBP) for unframed prints and €250 ($300 USD / £220 GBP) for framed versions. By purchasing a print, buyers directly support photographers at a time when independent visual journalism faces increasing challenges. Each sale not only brings a powerful narrative into homes or serves as a meaningful gift, but also contributes to safeguarding and protecting photojournalism worldwide.
Every contribution helps support the work of World Press Photo and the photographers it collaborates with, amplifying diverse voices and ensuring that important stories continue to reach international audiences. The "70 Prints for 70 Years" sale runs from November 17, 2025, at 9:00 AM until November 26, inviting the public to own a piece of visual history through this curated selection of 70 images from the World Press Photo archives.
