Uganda – vote for your favourite picture for the calendar

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: Alex Dude

Kiva profile: Juliet Mayanja

Kiva profile: Margaret Nalunga

*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.

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...
