Two Australians have taken out World Press Photo Contest awards, which honour the best examples of photojournalism each year.
Both works, which took out awards in the South-East Asia and Oceania regions, speak about environmental concerns.
Eddie Jim's image titled Fighting, Not Sinking, won the Singles category.
The Age and Sydney Morning Herald photographer snapped the photo in Fiji in August.
It shows community elder Lotomau Fiafia standing with his grandson John where he remembers the shoreline used to be when he was a boy — a point now underwater.
Aletheia Casey's series of 29 image called A Lost Place won the Open Format category.
A contest spokesperson said the series was "a striking meditation connecting Australia's colonial past with its precarious climate future".
"This project presents a series of manipulated and reconceptualised images, conveying the artist's personal feelings of frustration and horror in response to the devastating 2019-2020 wildfires in the state of New South Wales."

As well as winning the regional prize, Casey and Jim's images will go into the running for the global awards, which will be announced later this month.
This year, along with the winning regional images, the jury of judges also picked out two special mentions, highlighting the Israel-Hamas war.
The first is called The Aftermath of the Supernova Festival Attack by Leon Neal for Getty Images.
The second is called Israeli Air Strikes in Gaza by Mustafa Hassouna for Anadolu Images.
"These two special mentions reflect the gravity of the Israel-Hamas war in 2023, the extreme suffering of civilians, and its global political impact," the jury said in a statement.
"While each photograph shows a single individual in the aftermath of a horrific attack, the contrast between the scenes helps viewers understand the differing scales of devastation without minimising the individual suffering.
"We also wish to pay tribute to photographers reporting on this war, who are subjected to huge amounts of trauma, risk, and personal loss, particularly in Gaza."
