Okay everyone, want to do something that will take you just a few seconds, cost you nothing, be a good deed, AND get you a chance to win some free art?

What:
Sign up for a new account with Kiva and be entered in a chance to win a commission of your character, or your character with one of mine, from jailbird!

Why:
I like Kiva, and I think they do awesome work through microloans - but it takes your help for them to do it! Right now they are offering - for free - $25 to new users to lend and try them out. For referring you, I am also able to make another $25 donation. That means we each get to lend $25 for free! No, you don't get to keep the money, and neither do I, but we're helping make a difference a little bit at a time.

How to enter:
- go here (my special referral link) to sign up and make a free loan
- fill out this form

Signal-boost:
If you make a journal entry on FA, or re-Tweet this, respond here with a link and you will get another chance to win! This is a good way to enter if you already have a Kiva account.

What are my odds?
- for your first loan, you get your name in the pot once
- if you make additional donations, you will get your name in the pot two more times per donation (since you're using your own money! go you!)
- if you signal-boost, you will get your name in the pot once

Prizes:
- for up to 15 donations/sign-ups, one person will win a commission of their character, or their character and one of mine (their choice), from jailbird
- if there are more than 15 donations/sign-ups, two people will win the above
- if there are more than 25 donations, three people will win
- I don't suspect there will be more than 25, but just in case - there will be another prize per fifteen donations/sign-ups, up to 75 donations/sign-ups

Raffle Ends: last day to enter is August 31, 2012
