The STERN-Preis 2025 – Photo Story of the Year will be awarded to a photo series for a photojournalistic work published in a German-language journalistic medium (newspaper, magazine, website) in 2024.

  
The project should masterfully illustrate a major event of the year 2024, global and socially relevant topics, or a significant aspect of our social life. The photo series should demonstrate a high level of journalistic understanding and at the same time be visually convincing.

  
Single images will not be accepted, the published photo story from a magazine, weekly newspaper, daily newspaper or website must contain at least five images.

  
The award is based on the journalistic narrative and the multifaceted implementation of relevant content. The STERN-Preis recognises the dedicated photographic and journalistic work of professional photographers who tell a compelling story through outstanding images.

  
While we welcome submissions from international photographers, the STERN-Preis only accepts work that was published in a journalistic German-language journalistic medium (newspaper, magazine, website) in 2024.

The winner will receive the STERN Award 2025 in the category Photo Story of the Year for the best photo story of 2024 and thus the attention of the journalistic and photographic industry.
