This is a slap in the face of all the brilliant Georgian photographers who have been and still are working under really difficult conditions - their work is so much better and deeper than what is awarded here. @worldpressphoto.bsky.social ... you have to do better!
Outcry, especially among photojournalists in #Georgia, as #WPPh2025 Contest granted an award to a journalist of the #TASS agency, Kremlin-owned #propaganda mouthpiece, for his reporting on #GeorgiaProtests, the very movement fighting against the authoritarian fall in the Russian influence sphere.
Congratulations to the #WPPh2025 Contest winners, selected by an independent jury from over 59,000 entries, submitted by 3,778 photographers from 141 countries

120 days in, Georgians are still protesting every single day, across several cities in the country, despite the Georgian Dream party’s latest wave of repression, attacking the protesters’ wallets to exert economic pressure. 1/2
Rustaveli avenue is blocked for the 120th day.
For the past 4 months, we have been demanding free and fair elections and the release of political prisoners.
