Contest begins to design a more beautiful U.S.-Mexico border fence
What would Tom Tancredo say: The Reform Institute, Brickfish partner to beautify the U.S.-Mexican border
Should DHS help fund this project? San Diego, California-based Brickfish, the online content marketing platform, has formed a partnership with the Alexandria, Virginia-basedReform Institute, a non-partisan public policy think tank, to launch the Design Your Portion of the Border Fence campaign. The contest invites entrants to offer their opinions on the U.S.-Mexico border fence debate with original designs for decorating it. The online contest, located at the Brickfish Web site, encourages participants to combine imagination and passion with artistic interpretations of what border-crossers should see when traveling from one side of the border to the other.
Entrants are asked to submit an original design that expresses a stance on the issue. The campaign requires entrants to decide which side of the border fence they are painting, Mexico or U.S., and to get creative. The grand prize winner, selected by the Reform Institute Art Jury, will receive $1000. A paid, limited time freelance position with he Reform Institute will be offered to the entry that presents the most passionate stance on the issue. In addition, one entry representing each side of the debate will be awarded $500. Anyone can visit the campaign to view, vote on and share their favorite entries across the Internet.
The Design Your Portion of the Border Fence contest ends 12 September.
