How does it work?

Sign up as a microvolunteer and register with a Canadian University or College in the Throwdown contest.

Compete in a series of karma-inducing challenges to gain points.

The school team that earns the most points will win a $35,000 contribution to a Canadian registered charity of their choice.

The contest runs from November 5 until November 16, 2012.

What is Microvolunteering?

Microvolunteers are people who want to use their skills and expertise to help non-profits. In this contest, you can microvolunteer for a variety of challenge types and areas of interest. Microvolunteering is really cool because it is a way for you to participate from the comfort of your home at any time of day – comfy pants allowed!

How do I enter?

- Create an account by registering as a KOODONATION microvolunteer at www.koodonation.com

- Join a school team by registering with that team on the site. If there is no team yet for your school, you can create one and you will be the team captain.

- Sign in with Facebook is enabled, how convenient!

How do points work?

- 1 point is awarded for participation on each unique challenge (new challenges are added every day). Participation includes answering a challenge AND also commenting on another user's answer. Only one point will be awarded for each unique challenge, so multiple answers/comments on the same challenge will not increase your point total.

- 5 points are awarded for each thumbs up you receive.

- 25 points are awarded for each award received.

What are the rules?

You should definitely read the rules & regulations for this awesome contest.

Here are some of the important points to be aware of:
