This competition honors the photo series (5-10 images) by an emerging photographer that best depicts the emotions of a child’s life anywhere in the world.
All entrants must be nominated. Two of the seven nominating experts are Nuru Project contributing photographers, James Whitlow Delano and Jake Price.
If you have compelling, qualifying images, send them your work by Oct 15 (the UNICEF deadline is Oct 31):
James Whitlow Delano – james.delano@pep.ne.jp
Jake Price – jakephotog@gmail.com
Nuru Project has a history with this competition. We’re pleased to be currently showing last year’s contest winning image by Johan Bavman in our eight-city Dignity series raising money and awareness for Acumen Fund.
And we were luck enough to show Alice Smeet’s contest winning image from 2008 at our STAND WITH HAITI event benefiting Partners In Health in February 2010.

Nuru Project is very proud to announce that our Dignity event in San Francisco was attended by 150 people and raised nearly $15,000 for Acumen Fund!
Many thanks to all of the people at SF for Acumen who handled the logistics and ran the event in such a successful way. Big thanks also to all the contributing photographers listed in the blog posts below whose work made this event shine. And of course to Modernage Custom Digital Imaging for the beautiful reproductions of their work.
Carrie Ting, who heads up SF for Acumen, recapped the event as follows, “We received overwhelming feedback that the photographs were impressive, and the event was professionally-run. All volunteers who were involved were very happy with the results, and many new faces approached us wanting to get more involved with Acumen Fund in the future. The live auction was entertaining and a highlight of the event.”
Nuru Project is looking forward to similar success at our remaining Dignity events with Acumen Fund in Toronto, Chicago, DC, London, Dubai, and Karachi!
