Time to Get Creative!
Here’s your chance to show off your artistic and comedic talents in support of independent science. Enter the 2012 UCS Science and Democracy Editorial Cartoon Contest today!
2012 UCS Science and Democracy Editorial Cartoon Contest
Enter the Contest by July 1
Dear UCS Supporter,
We’re looking for a few good artists.
Today, the Union of Concerned Scientists is launching the 2012 UCS Science and Democracy Editorial Cartoon Contest. We’re seeking cartoons that explore the complex relationship between science and democracy in America.
Twelve cartoons will be selected as finalists to be featured in the 2013 UCS Science and Democracy Calendar. Then, we’ll ask the public to choose the best cartoon, which will go on the calendar’s cover. Each artist who submits an entry that is chosen as a finalist will receive a cash prize.
Check out the contest web page for more information about entering and guidance on relevant topic areas. You can also see some wonderful cartoons from our previous contests.
Entries are due July 1, 2012. Best of luck, and please forward this message to the most creative minds in your life!
Sincerely,
Michael Halpern
National Field Organizer
UCS Scientific Integrity Program

I wonder what sort of cartoon Josh will come up with?
I asked Kenji what his plans were, and he suggested some sort of performance art photo using the UCS mousepad that arrived months late. Here’s a photo of when he got it in March, only 6 months after he joined and was accepted as a member.
I like this cartoon about peer review in last years contest, I don’t think UCS realized the joke was on them:
Speaking of science, democracy and cartoons … if I might be permitted a shameless plug, readers might be interested in:

Kenji,
I’m sure you’re already sitting up and begging for a chance at the cartoon bone thrown your way by U of CS! I double dog dare you to unleash your creative chops and nip their AGW heels with biting satire sufficient to pull these klimatology rats down and leave the WUWT pack howling with laughter!
Sic ’em, Boy!

At least food prices drop when we can just bake bread on the sidewalk.
I have found it is more “Published Rubbish” exiting that censor-matic box and being applied to New Scientist, Science Daily and Nuture’s pages. (just to name a few)
How do the WUWT unique readership numbers compare with the UCS membership or readership? UCS may be the “David” in that comparison…
When you send in Kenji’s contribution, note his age on the form and sign it as guardian. Asterisk it, and in very small print at the bottom translate into dog years.
Confusion to the foe!
Latest research coming out of the Pennsylvania State University finds global warming may result in a 50% increase in albino males, possibly pointing to a previously unknown negative feedback mechanism.
