The International Association for Political Science Students is having a political science meme contest. Represent Canada by commenting your best memes on the original post!

Excited to officially invite everyone to submit their best dank memes for our "2020 Meme-ories Contest".

EDITED/AMENDED: we will be giving out 4 prizes to:
(1) the person that posts the most;
(2) the person that recruits the most people to play (by tagging them here)
(3) the person with the most likes on their comment
(4) the person that contributes the most to the dialogues by commenting the most on other people's posts

TL;DR: we get it: it's been a tough year and IAPSS stands with you. We will continue to do educational events on these issues (and social determinants thereof) in 2021 and beyond. For now, we encourage you to use memes/gifs/humor to vent and raise awareness; and we will even respond with questions/food for thought/resources (and maybe our own memes) about the ways that your meme submission are indicative and speak to larger topics in political science discourse.
