The Art of Politics 2008

We all know the failings of public opinion polls, or at least recognize how malleable they are in the hands of reporters, so how can we better gauge what’s important to a group of Americans?

Mestman and Lewis have assembled an apt team of judges, including John Carr of Yo! What Happened to Peace? In May, People’s Choice voting opens online for one month, and the top 30 will be exhibited around the country. They just recently opened their call for submissions, so get designing!
