Last Chance to Enter!

[helderheid]

Hello! I wanted to pass this great opportunity along to you:

Prepare to be creative and have the chance to win some great prizes!

On issues from air quality to global warming, government science is being censored, manipulated, and distorted on an unprecedented scale. With emails, letters, and phone calls to legislators, activists with the Union of Concerned Scientists have made their voices heard: science should be free from political interference!

Now here's your chance to show off your artistic and comedic talents in support of independent science--it's said that a picture is worth a thousand words, but what about an editorial cartoon?

This is Science Idol!
The Union of Concerned Scientists is hosting a Scientific Integrity editorial cartoon contest. They're looking for your creative take on the issue of political interference in science. Submit one-panel or multi-panel, print cartoons that address the misuse of science on a specific issue or in general. Entries are due by July 31, 2006. They've got an impressive panel of celebrity judges and some great prizes that you could win.
