Successful start to the highlight of the year! As witty as ever, former mayor of Vienna Michael Häupl opened WORLD PRESS PHOTO 22 together with Peter Coeln and World Press Photo Foundation curator Julia Kozakiewicz.⁠

For this year's edition, the WPP Foundation has developed a new jury mode - and it really has become even more multifaceted and global. This year, the whole world is a guest at WestLicht.⁠
