The Swiss Press Photo competition took place on April 25, 2014. Geneva-based photographer Mark Henley was awarded first prize with his series on the Geneva nuclear talks with Iran, making him Swiss photographer of the year for the second time (after 2012). Only KEYSTONE photographer Laurent Gilliéron has achieved the same (2005 and 2013) before him.

For Swiss Press Photo 14, 208 photographers have submitted 4874 entries – which are roughly 2000 more than last year. The Fondation Reinhardt von Graffenried has been supporting the Swiss press photography with the Swiss Press Photo competition since 1991.

The year book with the best Swiss press photos is published by Benteli Verlag and is available in bookstores. The national traveling exhibition «Swiss Press Photo 14» starts on May 1, 2014, at the Swiss National Museum in Zurich before moving on to Locarno, Bern and Prangins.
