Most of this year's submissions were in color, but two in the top five are nevertheless in black and white. It is also notable that only 11 women are among the 48 winners, yet they take the top two places. Many submitted images to this year’s competition reflected on the catastrophic events happening in the world, including wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, but also an impressive number of images showing how the world is polluted and urgently needs our care. This final selection is a mix of powerful, heartbreaking images alongside more light-hearted ones. Overall, this year’s selection emphasizes strong aesthetics and storytelling.

In "The Mind's Eye: Writings on Photography and Photographers," Henri Cartier-Bresson emphasizes how photographers engage with subjects on the brink of disappearance, highlighting the irreplaceable nature of these captured instants. The five top winning images aptly echo Cartier-Bresson's sentiment, showcasing their mastery in seizing and preserving fleeting moments through photography.
The winner and Photographer of the Year 2024 is Roberta Vagliani (Italy) with her image “The right to know.”
