We want to hear from you. Yes, you.

Central to Global Envision's mission of exploring the confluence of global markets and poverty alleviation is to inspire dialogue.

That's why we've decided to launch a weekly comment contest with a cash prize of $25.*

So how does it work? Simply comment on our blog posts, and check the box to enter your comment into the weekly contest. You'll need to enter your real name and a valid email address so that we can contact you if you win. There's no limit to how often you can comment, so comment on one blog post or 20, one week or every week.

How will comments be judged? Well, each week we'll simply pick the comment we like best. Sound vague? You betcha. We'll be looking for a variety of things in comments including (but not nearly limited to): thoughtfulness, wit, insight and understanding of the topic. Feel free to challenge us, critique, praise or just plain discuss.

Comment away — we can't wait to hear from you.

* Lest anyone think $25 is not a lot, consider these figures from our affiliate Mercy Corps: $25 delivers clean, safe drinking water to 50 people in one of eastern Congo's sprawling displacement camps. $25 provides seeds to farmers in cyclone-devastated areas of Myanmar to plant five acres of rice. $25 gives traumatized children in Darfur 12 weeks of activities and psychological care to help them heal.
