A photograph can bring a story to life in ways that can be difficult to convey in words. Celebrating the role of news photography, the World Press Photo Contest is one of the most respected collections of photojournalism. This year, exactly 101,254 photographs were submitted in the contest and the winning photographs have been assembled in an exhibition that will visit Brisbane Powerhouse from June 2–24. The first prize of the Contemporary Issue Stories category is a photograph (pictured) of child brides from Hajjah in Yemen.
