World Press Photo 2008

This year World Press Photo received 80,536 images made by 5,019 photographers spread over 125 countries. Interesting statistics, but WPP are even more impressed with the amazing diversity and quality of the material. The number of entries from Central and South America continued to grow for the second year running and submissions from Asia rose to 20 percent of the total.
