BOFFO hopes to create a nation-wide dialog about the upcoming election and political climate in America by giving artists a platform to share their thoughts, not only on the candidates, but also the many important issues facing our country at this time. The artworks will be shared on BOFFO’s Instagram, @boffo_ny, and on Tumblr at BOFFOpolitics.tumblr.com. A jury of institutional leaders and artists from across the country will select their favorite artworks, which will be shared with the presidential candidates’ campaign offices, and might even have the distinction of being featured in their campaigns.

Submissions will be accepted by BOFFO from March 23 – May 30, 2016. If approved, they will be placed online for everyone to see on a rolling basis. Everyone is encouraged to share, like, comment, and promote the posters. Some posters may even end up going viral. Hashtags, comments, and other forms of social communication will all be encouraged to further the national conversation about the upcoming election and American politics. The jury selected posters will be announced at the end of the competition, still all posters will remain online for anyone to share and continue the dialog. Additional terms and conditions apply. See official rules for details (boffopolitics.tumblr.com/submitposter)
