Exciting, the first World Photography Organization festival to be held in the US is coming to San Francisco. Here is a ink to the online program: http://www.worldphoto.org/_assets/files/San_Francisco_Festival_Online_Programme_Low_Res(1).pdf
One of the most important awards is The Student Focus Award. Artists use photography to raise awareness on a specific global issue. Student Focus unites a variety of institutions world wide to organize talks, exhibits, and portfolios as well.
By raising awareness to global issues through art work the artist provides recognition, truth and attention to important global issues. Here is last years winner The Princes Rainforests Project (PRP): http://www.worldphoto.org/about-wpo/the-focus-award/20082009-focus-award/

Ugh. Yet another reason I wish I lived in San Francisco.
