The Official African Violet Website is the
African Violet Society of America
If you want photo references, cultural information, judges' rules, anything about violets, that IS the place to look. :)
In addition to the Official site, there are websites all around the world promoting the love of and the growing of African Violets. I cannot personally guarantee you will find what you are looking for at these sites, they are just for your reference.
However, in the Global Village that is the Internet, it is in everyone's best interest to share in the knowledge that we each have in growing these wonderful plants, the African Violet.
To translate pages, use these links:
(allows you to send email in another language)
(allows an entire page to be translated)
If you would like a link added, please email me and I will add it. :) And please remember to honor each site's legal ownership of their images and material. :) Many will share images when asked. And I would imagine, if you see a site somewhere around the world that might benefit from a contribution from you, an email and an offer might be just the thing.

This site is seeking donations of "foreign" photographs (Non Russian growers) - the specific plants have notations of a photo being needed. They post a thank you to foreign sites at the bottom of one gallery page (probably all), so copyright notice should be specified by donor if more than that is wanted. You could always sign or mark your photograph before you send it. They divide their galleries into foreign and domestic. Use the translator links- the first couple of pages aren't completely translated, but the galleries are more completely translated (tested in English). Email: senpolia@r2.ru (Very nice people)
