Student Focus: The Programme

Student Focus stretches across 6 continents including over 100 educational institutions from:

North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia & Australasia.

Now in its third year, the SWPA have created a groundbreaking initiative that provides a unique opportunity for both universities and their students, to gain important experience in a professional capacity and within the professional field. “Student Focus” consists of a global competition, masterclass workshops and seminars scheduled during the Sony World Photography Awards Events and Ceremony that takes place in Cannes each year.

A competition runs in each university with the winning two students being selected to represent their respective school. The winning two students from each university then enter the online competition to become one of the 6 international universities, each comprising of two students and their professor, to be flown to Cannes, during the Sony World Photography Awards with the opportunity to win state of the art equipment for their university, courtesy of Sony.

The overall winning university will be announced, along with the winners of the professional and Amateur categories, at the Sony World Photography Awards Ceremony at the Palais des Festivals, Cannes. The Student prize consists of Sony photographic equipment.

About Us



The World Photography Organisation (WPO) supports professional, amateur and student photography and lends a global platform for the photographic industry to communicate, converge and showcase current trends in Photojournalism, Fine Art and Commercial Photography.

The World Photography Organisation delivers various initiatives and programmes across the global photographic community under the "World Photography" brand. These programmes involve the amateur and professional photographer in commercial, cultural and educational activities within the photographic industry. Currently included within the World Photography portfolio are the World Photography Awards sponsored by Sony; the World Photography Student Focus Competition; the World Photography Awards Global Tour, the World Photography Collection and the World Photography Focus Programme.

The WPO’s aim is to support photographers whilst creating new avenues in which to develop the photographic practices within the industry, enabling photographers to have their work seen internationally, establish photography into new and less mature markets, introducing young talent to a world-wide public and photography audience, and provide various annual meeting grounds for a global industry to converge and facilitate exchange within the market.
