Solving Poverty Badges & Tees for Sale - BAD08 Comp Winners

Oct 15th in News by Collis

Today and tomorrow - depending on where you are in the world - it's Blog Action Day 2008 and I'm happy to announce the "Solving Poverty" contest badges and tees are up for sale on CafePress. All proceeds from the sales will be sent to Kiva as loans for entrepreneurs in developing nations.

Author: Collis

Hello! I started PSDTUTS because years ago reading Photoshop tutorials was how I got into design. I hope the site helps and inspires others! You can find me on Twitter!

The CafePress Store

The buttons and tees are available over at a CafePress store set up specially for these badges and tees. Badges are $5 and Tees are $25 - after CafePress' costs $2 and $7 goes to charity.

Visit the CafePress Store and Grab a Badge.

The Winners and Honourable Mentions

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.


Enjoy this Post?

We'd love your vote!

    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!

    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. :)

    @ Jack.
    Kaput is the swiss word for a special Cape for Soldiers.

    Kaputt is the german word for broken.

    Sorry Jack but I am german. :)
