A Big Thank You!
So first of all a big thank you to all the designers and artists who contributed work, it was tough choosing winners – especially as I sorta left it kinda close to the last minute so thank you to everyone who responded and sent through the right artwork!
I’m sending out a set of emails and Flickrmails to all 13 finalists to arrange for you all to open Kiva accounts to make your loans! Having done some loaning on behalf of Envato, I must admit it’s actually quite fun and after a while they generally get paid back and you can loan the money out again.

nice badge designs. i love it.
The spelling of the german word kaputt used in the Badge of the 3rd place is wrong.
I think its great that people took the time and effort to create something in order to help out the cause. I only wish I had the skill these artists have. I will be posting a post on ym blog and giving a donation to blog action day as well, its for a great cause!
Congratulations to the winners. Try to make it real: solve the poverty.
Congratulations…. Some great designs in there and all for a great cause…

Those are great… Except maybe that “Give a little, help a LOT” button.
Great contest though. I’m ecstatic that web developers are bringing major problems to light. It’s about time the web started making use of its potential.
Keep up the good work Team Ta’eed. <– haha I’m funny and great.
@ Thomas.
I looked it up – according to dictionary.com and merriam-webster online you can spell it either way.
i only like that 2nd one
