This year’s competition will support the activities of Every Child Matters Education Fund, a non-profit, non-partisan organization based in Washington DC, providing advocacy for various issues of critical importance to children, including:
- Access to affordable, comprehensive health care services
- Early care, learning opportunities and after school programs
- Reducing poverty
- Eliminating violence, neglect and abuse against children in their homes and communities

 

Globally, misery has a child’s face. According to leading humanitarian organizations fighting global poverty, children suffer disproportionately from misery and mistreatment. By supporting Every Child Matters Education Fund through the 2011-12 International Photo Contest and its visual impact, Colors of Life is harnessing the evocative power of photography to help improve children’s lives.

 

CONTEST THEME
"Every Child Matters”
Preferred subjects for photographs submitted are those related to the issues focused on by Every Child Matters Education Fund, i.e. health care, education, poverty and violence and abuse, each as it involves children in America. The goal of this year’s competition is to produce a documentary-style exhibition from the 30 finalist photographs that will be utilized by Every Child Matters Education Fund in exhibitions and other events to call attention to its efforts on behalf of children.
