Sure, most of us are peeved that District residents still don’t have voting rights. But at least you can win some money for finding creative ways to do something about it.

Voting rights advocacy organization DC Vote is sponsoring the Demand Democracy in D.C. Contest, through which they are offering a top prize of $1,500 for the person who comes up with the most creative way to protest the District’s ongoing second-class status in the coming year.

To enter the running for the money — there’s also second- and third-place prizes of $750 and $500, respectively — all you have to do is put your idea down on paper. (Though organizers are limiting you to no more than two pages.) The folks at DC Vote want “creative, bold [and] non-violent” ideas that dramatize the denial of democracy in D.C. They also want to know how your idea would be implemented, whether it will spark national attention, who will be involved and what it would cost. The contest closes this Friday, and proposals should be emailed here.

To get the creative juices flowing, here’s an idea: reroute all 311 calls to the office of any legislator that pretends to speak for us.
