Photos of the Month by The Game Magazine, January 2024
The Best Entertainment Photo of the Month
The top entertainment photo of the month was taken by Rudolf Gigler, featuring the singer Thomas Neuwirth, better known as Conchita Wurst, in a performance at the 2023 opening celebrations for the Salzkammergut 2024 Capital of Culture Year.
The Best News Photo of the Month
Captured by Hami Roshan from Middle East Images, the best news photo of the month showcases thousands of individuals protesting against the right-wing extremist AfD party in Hamburg, Germany. Despite claims by the party on social media that the images were AI-generated, the photograph is genuine. Subsequent reports from the police confirmed that over 80,000 people participated in the demonstration.
The Best Sports Photo of the Month
At the beginning of the year, in January, the football world mourned the loss of legendary German player Franz Beckenbauer. In tribute to him, the best sports photo of the month taken by Teamfoto features a moment from the Bundesliga—a team photo capturing the minute’s silence observed in his honor before the game commenced.
