World Photography Awards

Non c'è solo il World Press Photo, Wpp. Al Palais des Festivals di Cannes, in Francia, ogni anno si assegnano i World Photography Awards, Wpa. Non soltanto un premio, ma un insieme di appuntamenti che ruotano intorno alla fotografia diventati in breve tempo uno dei maggiori eventi mondiali ad essa dedicati: mostre, proiezioni, workshop, dibattiti, letture di portfolio, progetti per studenti, un magazine, una Photographic Academy (formata da rappresentanti di agenzie internazionali, gallerie, case editrici, fondazioni, giornalisti e fotografi) che giudica le immagini in concorso, una cerimonia finale, in programma quest'anno dal 22 al 27 aprile, con la partecipazione di fotografi, galleristi, giornalisti, agenti, critici, appassionati.
