Digital technologies have transformed how we produce and consume stories. The World Press Photo Digital Storytelling Contest rewards those producing the best forms of visual journalism enabled by these changes. The contest is open to digital storytellers, visual journalists, producers, and entry coordinators, with submissions that include the work of a professional visual journalist. The contest consists of three categories that include photography and/or film in combination with (but not limited to) animation, graphics, illustrations, sound or text: interactive storytelling is an interactive visual story or project in a form other than video, which through its design creates an immersive and/or innovative experience for the user; Long form is a single linear narrative, or series of linear narratives, on a single topic, produced as a video for the web, and lasting no longer than 30 minutes in total; Short form is a single linear narrative, produced as a video for the web, lasting no longer than 10 minutes. The review shows on big screens the winner stories of the 2019 Long form and  Short form categories.
