Amber Bracken is the winner of the photo of the year of the 2022 edition of the World Press Photo. The shot, titled Kamloops Residential School, shows a row of clothes hanging from wooden crosses along a road, in remembrance of indigenous children who died at Kamloops Indian Residential School, following the detection of 215 presumed unmarked graves that may belong to children who attended school in Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada. 

Global jury chair Rena Effendi about this image: "It is a kind of image that sears itself into your memory, it inspires a kind of sensory reaction. I could almost hear the quietness in this photograph, a quiet moment of global reckoning for the history of colonization, not only in Canada but around the world."
 
The winner of the World Press Photo Story of the Year award was Matthew Abbott with his story about Australians indigenous and their practices to preserve forests. Lalo de Almeida and Isadora Romero respectively won the other two novelty awards of this year, the World Press Photo Long-Term Project Award and the World Press Photo Open Format Award.
