The Czech Press Photo 2025 exhibition will be held at the New Building of the National Museum.
The photograph of the year was a shot from the series titled "The Work of Miners at the ČSM-Sever Mine (OKD)," by Lukáš Kaboň from Deník. The award for lifetime achievement in photography was received by the legendary Czech documentary photographer, native of Ostrava, Viktor Kolář. In the 31st edition of the Czech Press Photo competition, nine photographic categories were announced. Seven traditional categories: News; Reportage; Everyday Life; Art and Culture; Sports; People and the Environment; People Who Are Talked About. And two new categories: "For three decades, the Czech Press Photo competition operated at the federal level – it was open to both Czech and Slovak authors. The 31st edition was an ideal opportunity for change. Now, only Czech authors submit images to the main categories, but we want to support photojournalism in the broadest and highest possible scope, which is why we announced a new special award, Project Europe. This is intended for photographers from all over Europe, including Czech and Slovak authors. The winner of the Project Europe category was documentary photographer Sean Gallup, who shoots for Getty Images in Germany. His documentary series titled "Scientists Conduct Measurements on the Melting Rhône Glacier in Switzerland" provides alarming testimony regarding the state of the climate and the terrifying pace of glacier disappearance. We believe that the participation of foreign photographers enhances the prestige of the competition and, above all, enriches the exhibition," says Czech Photo director Veronika Souralová. "The new category Life in the Czech Republic opened up space for photographers who address topics with lasting significance. We received a number of works that offer a deeper insight into the events and stories shaping our society and life in the Czech Republic. The category provides space and opportunity for authors operating in the regions, as strong and authentic stories deserving attention often emerge there. The winner was Zdeněk Dvořák with his series of photographs "The Last Lions in Bohemia," which depicts the environment of the last circus where these majestic beasts are kept," says Czech Press Photo competition manager Dan Materna.

PRAGUE THAT FITS IN A SUITCASE
Czech glass, designer jewellery, original artwork or a fragrance created in Prague. A souvenir needn't recall famous landmarks; it can tell the story of today's city and the people who create here. Prague's best-known motifs appear almost everywhere. Still, the city's most interesting mementoes are often found a few streets away, in design shops, small galleries and local artists' studios. Here you can discover a Prague that draws on a strong craft tradition while interpreting it in a contemporary and sometimes surprisingly playful way.
