Video: Design for America Awards

Late last month, our site, CountySinRankings.org, was awarded first place in Sunlight Labs' "Design for America" contest in the "Visualizing Health Data Category." We came in first out of 13 entries.

But there were many other noteworthy winners. This video shows Clay Johnson of Sunlight Labs announcing the winners at the Gov 2.0 Expo in Washington on May 26, 2010. (He presents County Sin Rankings at the 6:15 mark.)
