Before you create and submit your application, you will need to create a username and password on the WPI website. Then, click the “Start an Application” button to bring you to a new application form.

Qualified applicants should visit the “How to Apply” page on the World Press Institute website. All application materials will be uploaded and evaluated online. Each candidate should submit three work samples that are available via a publicly accessible online service, such as YouTube, Dropbox, or another public service. If you are unable to use a public service, you can also attach your work sample to your online application.

Before you can create and submit your application, you will need to create a username and password on the WPI website. Then, click the “Start an Application” button to bring you to a new application form. Make sure you save before leaving your page or it will be lost.

Because the form is lengthy, it is expected that you will need to return to the form several times. When you are finished editing your application, click the “Complete” button to mark it as done. There is no formal submitting process, and marking the document as complete indicate to the committee that you are finished.

Each candidate should also be prepared to submit a digitized color photo that is approximately 2.5 inches in height. This should be in JPG/JPEG or GIF format. Contact details for three references should also be supplied.
