    The problem with democracy is that you can't eat it. It's this that we seek to remedy with the Newspeak Edible Election Contest with Rock the Vote. We're calling for edible depictions of this election, the candidates and democracy in general. A gingerbread ballot box? Sure! A ground-beef bust of Obama? Of course! A marzipan McCain in a pretzel-stick Viet Cong prison? Why not! Creativity, craftsmanship and an abiding love for democracy in action are all desired for Edible Election!

    RULES
    •Entries must be mostly edible; no glues or industrial solvents that might poison our judges (wood or cardboard platforms and backing are OK).
    •There is no size requirement for entries, and any topic relating to this election will be accepted.
    •No blanket political statements, please–stay on-topic and relevant.
    •Entries are due Thursday, August 21, 2008 at Newspeak's Edible Election Happy Hour, at McCabe's Tavern, to be appraised by our celebrity judges.

    The winner will receive tickets to Rock The Vote's Ballot Bash at the Democratic National Convention!
