Introduction

1 / 11

A few weeks back, we teamed up with ABC's Be the Change: Save a Life and asked our community to create a valentine for victims of domestic and sexual violence around the world. The only instructions: "convey a piece of information, an instruction, a promise, or simply a message of hope, taking whatever form you choose: a card, a poster, or a tribute entirely your own."

The response was overwhelming: We received more than 50 submissions total from corners near and far.

Take a look at our 10 finalists, and vote for your favorite through Wednesday. The winning entry will receive a GOOD T-shirt and be published in the next issue of GOOD, and will be featured on good.is and our partner site www.saveone.net.

We'll then package up all of the submissions and distribute them to clinics and community centers in five cities around the world, to make sure they land in front of the people they're intended for. We'll share pics of where those valentines end up, so stay tuned.
