The 6x6 Global Talent Program was launched in August 2017 to highlight talent from around the world and present stories with diverse perspectives. Over two years, through a process of nomination and selection in one region at a time, the first full cycle of 6x6 has spotlit 36 talents.
6x6 talents’ work has been exhibited in four of the six regions, and published and shared on the World Press Photo Foundation’s platforms, including our online magazine Witness. 6x6 talents also receive an automatic nomination for World Press Photo’s prestigious Joop Swart Masterclass - this year, six of the talents will participate in the week-long masterclass in Amsterdam.
