Abuses of Science Political Cartoon Contest

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Sunday June 4, 2006 @03:17AM from the now-thats-a-strange-idea dept.

AngryNick writes "The Union of Concerned Scientists has announced a cartoon contest for amateur and professional artists. 'The absurdity of political interference in science is fertile ground for satire,' said Dr. Francesca Grifo, Director of the UCS Scientific Integrity Program. 'We hope these contests encourage amateur and professional cartoonists alike to express concern--through humor and art--about the impact of the abuse of science on our safety, health and environment.' A celebrity judge panel will select twelve finalists and the public will then choose the Grand Prize winner. The winner will receive a host of prizes, including $500 and an all-expenses-paid trip to have lunch with the celebrity judge of his or her choice. You can read Contest details, sample topics and the list of celebrity judges."

I'd say pretty low, considering there's nobody with that name* (nobody famous anyway).

* Hint: The current US president is George Walker Bush. His father was named George Herbert Walker Bush. Since they have different names, there's no need for the Jr. and Sr. designations.
