Single Winners and finalists Charity-Renaissance

	First place - Gold steiger,moritz Finding this girl standing by a track in a sugar cane field outside her house, little more than a shack was quite revelation. Very pretty but crushingly poor with her siblings clinging to her, one could only guess at her story. Her skin covered with a powder which I could only presume was for measles.
	Second place - Silver torracchi,furio We will never grow up!
	Commended Lockerbie,Toby This is my Gran in January last year. We’d travelled up to see her in Yorkshire to finalise getting her into a nursing home near where we lived in London. She rarely left her house so when we did visit we would always take her out somewhere for lunch. On this final occasion we took her to her favourite place, a little fish and chip shop nearby that she’d gone to since she was young. There’s something about the way she’s buttoning up her coat to leave and her genuinely happy expression that I really like. She’s still independent.
	Commended Raschetti,Raul Even though the poverty, the suffering and the lack of oportunities, the natives of Latinamerica conserves a big amount of happines and joy. A daily triumph over adversity.
	Commended THOMAS,Thea Summiting the Sofa
	Commended Quackenbush,Russ A series of images where I ask random people mimick the pose of the art behind them.
	Commended Fazekas,Krisztina Garden of Magic
	Commended Taylor,Phill
	Commended sank,michelle Marie:Breast Cancer Survivor
	Commended Kearsley,Liz Victoria, 11 year old orphan and rape victim in Ghana. She had just received her first councelling session and medical tests thanks to a local charity. The picture epitomizes that moment of clarity and life ahead.
	Commended Cole,Laura My 11 month old daughter Martha playing the piano. I am a musician recovering from Repetitive Strain Injury and depression, and this image embodies the end of a very difficult road and the beginning of a new creative path for me. My inspiration has been rekindled with the birth of my daughter.
