Back on March 25th, we told you about the Design for America contest sponsored by the Sunlight Foundation. The idea was to shine some light into the United States government. It was not really one contest, but six contests. The contests are:

  • Data Visualization of Sunlight Community Data
  • Visualization of Data from the Federal Budget and/or USASpending.gov
  • Visualization of Recovery.gov Data
  • Visualization of How a Bill Becomes a Law
  • Visualization of Congressional Rules/Floor Procedures
  • Redesign of a Government Form
  • Redesign of a .Gov website

Sunlight labs recently announced the winners of the contests.

The Design for America contest led to the most compelling, interesting visualizations of any of our contests. With about 72 entries, the design community stepped up and showed amazing ways for us to view government and imagine new ways for government to serve citizens.
