世界新闻摄影基金会（The World Press PhotoFoundation）一直致力于摄影教育，并认为视觉新闻的未来取决于新人才的奉献。世界新闻摄影基金会在世界各地都有培训计划，其中以荷赛大师班（ Joop SwartMasterclass）为首，同时培养视觉表达能力和更好的新闻实践。

荷赛大师班（ Joop Swart Masterclass）自1994年由世界新闻摄影基金会创立以来，每年都是最负盛名的活动之一。它的目标是汇集一些最有经验的年轻摄影记者和有前途的摄影师，分享并传递他们的知识和经验。

2016年荷赛大师班提名委员会由171名来自世界各地、大师级年轻专业摄影记者和纪实摄影师组成。

他们挑选了来自29个国家和地区的167名年轻摄影作为候选人，有56名女性和111名男性。其中有四位中国摄影人入选，都市快报记者陈荣辉、新华社驻中东摄影记者崔新钰、Yani Cong，Yuyang Liu。

下一阶段，独立委员会将会挑选出最后12名摄影师，参加今年晚些时候在阿姆斯特丹的荷赛大师班。最后名单将于4月23日在年度颁奖典礼时宣布。
