I found this of interest, a world wide list of photo festivals. Exposure my current festival is on this as is PhotoNOLA which I participated in last year. This list is from the Telegraph Newspaper in the UK. They always have a bunch of great photography related stories. Thanks Jim G for telling me about this paper and its wonderful photo coverage. Maybe next year I will be in another of these festivals. I am getting to like these things. Places like Lagos in Nigeria or Angkor in Cambodia, would be a blast to show your work in.
All the festivals below have links, good luck folks try some out, get your work seen internationally.
