Some pictures age like fine wine—they become even more influential or appreciated as time goes by. And most such images undoubtedly deserve an award. One of the greatest photo competitions is held by the World Press Photo Foundation. It attracts thousands of spectacular submissions each year that immortalize our life as it is—the good and the bad—for future generations to see. Needless to say, choosing a winner is never easy.
