The winners of the 59th annual World Press Photo Contest were announced recently in Feb 2016.
A total of 41 photographers from 21 countries were ultimately selected for their winning photos out of a total of 82,951 submitted photos from 5,775 photographers.
The pictures, selected for their beauty, news value, and overall composure, were divided into 8 broad categories.
Each category was then further divided into a singles category, for stand alone photographs, and a story category for a series. Each category had three winners.
We have presented our favorites of the selection below, and you can see the entire gallery here.
Warning, some of the photos are graphic.

Photos: A list of the world's self-driving cars racing toward 2020
The world's self-driving cars, in photos
In the race to build the world's best self-driving car, traditional automakers like Toyota and Ford are being joined by tech companies like Google, Baidu, and even (it's rumored) Apple. This will have a major impact on businesses and professionals. Companies could use automated vehicles to replace corporate fleets for last-mile deliveries or transporting employees. Professionals could gain productive hours in the day by working instead of driving during their daily commute. And it is poised to drastically alter the car insurance industry by substantially lowering accidents on the road––a new report predicts that accidents will drop by 80% by 2040.
Check out TechRepublic's photo gallery for an insider's peek into the autonomous cars of the future, which will be powered by artificial intelligence, big data, and cloud computing. We'll update this gallery as new models emerge.
