Egypt Press Photo Exhibition

The Photographic Gallery in the Department of Journalism and Mass Communication invites you to the annual exhibition of contemporary photojournalism as part of its ongoing collaboration with the Egypt Press Photo competition. Egypt Press Photo is a renowned annual competition for national photojournalism, organized by the Syndicate of Journalists and run by the Photojournalists Collective. Now in its 20th edition, the competition continues to highlight exceptional work in the field. This year’s exhibition highlights the spot news that dominated headlines throughout 2025. Major milestones—such as the opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum and the decommissioning of Alexandria’s historic tram network—wrought profound shifts in the cultural and infrastructural landscapes of both cities. On a more somber note, destructive fires struck Cairo’s vital communications infrastructure, while severe flooding in Southern Egypt following the filling of the Ethiopian Dam unfolded against the backdrop of expanding regional conflicts. Through the lens of local professional visual storytellers and photojournalists, this exhibition presents a compelling chronicle of 2025. Their dedicated documentation reveals the subtle, seemingly benign, yet ultimately irrevocable transformations taking place across the country.
