AYV International Photo Competition - Winners--and a new call for submissions!

WINNING AND COMMENDED PHOTOGRAPHS

We are delighted to share the winning submissions from the first round of the Adobe Youth Voices International Photo Competition. In May 2009, Adobe Youth Voices (AYV), a global youth media initiative, in collaboration with WKCD (What Kids Can Do), asked youth worldwide to submit pairs of photographs that capture what is challenging and what gives hope in today's difficult world--from their unique perspective.
