Welcome to the first round of voting which is open until Monday 17th (5 days total).

There are 16 concurrent polls (one for each country) – remember to vote in each one.

Below are links to each  entrepreneurs' profile and a thumbnail (which in turn is linked to the full-sized image – be warned some are a couple of MB or more)

The winner of each country will then go through to the next round of voting*. (Results will be available after the poll has ended).

Kiva profile:
AZOBLE EMILIENNE
Kiva profile:
NDRI YOLANDE DJE
Kiva profile:
Salimata Ouattara

*I am currently reserving the right that if there is a tie I will have the casting vote (I will not have voted in the poll, however tempting it might be).

Where possible the casting vote will be used to ensure:
- a balance of male and female entrepreneurs (as to the Kiva ratio)
- a balance of businesses (farming, shops, repairs, food, markets etc).

If we don't get this balance I propose to open up a new thread to discuss how a balance can be achieved before the next round of voting.

Does anyone know if the dates on the actual pictures can somehow be edited out without cropping?  Theres a couple pics with dates that I want to vote for but really cant if the date is showing like it is.  Just wondering.

I find not direction in the readings of those with whom my eccentricities are similar, but rather validation.

My only solace is that I find a peaceful place where I might be resigned to my depriving loneliness.

The only real option, as it is going to be printed, is to crop it.
The photo could be manipulated to remove it - and some very clever people can do wonderful things to manipulate images (http://www.worth1000.com) - but they would have to be very talented to ensure the print quality remains.  I am not  Grin - but if there are volunteers...

15 minutes of manipulation ---  i'm not that proud of it.  But then again...i'm no professional!

Henry the magician.  Thanks Henry.  Good to know some pics can be improved in areas if need be.

This poll is now locked.  Thank you to everyone who voted - your efforts have gone through to the second round.

Most of the polls in the first round had run away winners, though it seems a couple of them at least were much harder for voters to decide and were closer.

Where the polls were close the runners up (within about 10% of the winner) have also gone through - as have all the countries in the Rest of the World poll.

This has given us a good mix for the second round...
