Help Us Fill Out Our Bracket!
In keeping with the spirit of the madness of March and King George, we are preparing to seed a bracket of 32 nominees comprising the state and federal agencies and the bureaucrats who committed the worst abuses of civil liberties in 2022. Join us as we thumb our noses at these runaway regulators, officious bureaucrats, and god-complex governors. Watch gleefully as we force them to battle it out head-to-head in tournament-style match-ups.
How It Works
Not familiar with a tournament-style bracket like this? Don’t worry! You don’t need to be a sports fan to enjoy voting for the nominee you think most deserves to “win.”
All of the nominees will face off, two at a time, until there are only two nominees left standing. Those two ignominious officials will face each other in the championship, with the winner to be announced at NCLA’s 5th Anniversary Dinner on June 7, 2022.
Who Is Eligible to Win a King George III Prize?
To be eligible for the King George III Prize, the nominee must be a policy-level decision maker at a federal, state, or local government agency or institution. So, most elected officials and bureaucrats are eligible. However, judges and front line field officers are not.
We also exclude US Senators and Representatives because their misdeeds have to survive bicameral presentment and an executive veto. Lastly, we exclude the President of the United States because if the most powerful executive in the nation was allowed to compete, that official would likely be the runaway winner every year. So, let’s just call POTUS a given and have some fun singling out the other abusers!
