Judging Criteria
Judging will be done by us here at Social Designer.
We are looking for positive imagery with contemporary, graphically appealing designs.
Your design should not include or make any reference to any particular region, culture, religion, conflict, politics or commercial entity, nor should it pose or connote negative sentiments or imagery.
The Kiva logo must not appear on the design nor should the logos of any other organization or brand. Your entry must not mention or refer to Kiva.
Entries with logos or with negative or undesirable content such as those described above will be removed.
Based on the winning design, we will decide the exact print location of the winning design and color of t-shirt it will be printed on.
The judges' decisions are final.
