Kiva partner Emprender in Bolivia recently held a contest between its 13 branch offices to see who could design the best Kiva mural. The contest was intended to promote Kiva loans (which Emprender offers at a lower interest rate than its other products) and create a sense of community among Kiva borrowers.

First prize was an all-agency dinner, and each agency will also receive a surprise gift for participating in the mural contest. Here are a few of the highlights:
