Dear Friends of Colors of Life, thank you for your submissions. We have received so far very interesting situational images, some full of despair, some of hope. We would like to remind the photographers who have not sent their images yet, that we support the advocacy work of Every Child Matters through your submissions and selected photographs. This is a very important issue for Colors of Life as the discovery of so many mistreated children has been a profound shock. Although it is a world-wide plague, in the past 10 years in the United States of America alone, 25,000 thousand children have been reported as victims of domestic violence and almost 3 million a year as abused. As this is pretty sad, this 5th edition of Colors of Life intends to deliver a strong NO to violence! Help us to show the public, through your images, how reflection can be transformed into action.

We are in the process of securing the right venue for the opening exhibition of the 30 finalist photographs in Washington DC at the end of 2011 and are inviting prestigious key-note speakers (and the prize-winning photographers, once announced) to talk about the unfortunate phenomenon of violence, the lack of adequate social services and the meaning of their shots. So, stay tuned!
