Sin for the Win!

I'm proud to announce that Forum One's County Sin Rankings is a Design for America award winner!

Our contest entry placed first out of 13 entries in the "Visualizing Community Health Data" category. The award was announced from the stage today at the O'Reilly Gov 2.0 Expo in Washington, D.C.

This is the third win in a row for us. Our previous entries, Legistalker and DataMasher, placed second and first, respectively. This new award carries a $5,000 prize.  

Thank you Sunlight Labs, Adobe, and other sponsors for supporting these contests and helping to propagate the open government movement. 

Special thanks to the folks at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and University of Wisconsin Public Health Institute for their good humor, and for releasing the data for CountyHealthRankings.org, a site we also helped build.
