The history of the cosmic star-formation activity is a key
observable to compare against theoretical predictions. The
contribution by star-forming galaxies at high redshifts with
moderate amount of dust obscuration (and reddening) is
relatively easily estimated from optical and near-infrared
data. Observations at longer wavelengths are necessary to
identify those with more severe dust obscuration. Using
multi-wavelength imaging data from the Great Observatories
Origins Deep Survey (GOODS) we report on the evolution of
the rest-frame UV luminosity function of relatively
unobscured star-forming galaxies at redshifts 2.5
