This annual exhibition highlights exceptional achievements in photojournalism, presenting images selected by an international jury from over 6,000 submitted photographs by 258 photographers. Notable awards include the MÚOSZ Grand Prize, given to freelance photographer Diana Nemeh for her series 'Nimród,' and the André Kertész Grand Prize, awarded to Noémi Melegh for her work, which includes 'Eighteen Years of Eternity.' The exhibition emphasizes the vital role of photojournalists in documenting reality and providing authentic context in the modern age, particularly in an era challenged by distinguishing real from artificially generated content.

In conjunction with the main exhibition in Budapest, a 'Photos of the Year' yearbook is published, featuring photographer biographies in Hungarian and English. Additionally, a traveling outdoor exhibition extends the reach of the best works to various regional locations across Hungary, such as Pécs, Siófok, and Győr.
