This meme creation competition encourages you to create humorous memes depicting your relationship with your data. Use this submission form to submit your favorite data themed meme's you made. 

A panel of humorous meme-literate nerds will be judging based on relatability, humor, and pure opinion. Winner will take home a data themed goodie bag!

Rules: 

• Don’t be a jerk or gross.
• You can submit more than one meme.
• Do not use AI to create your meme, but you can use it to brainstorm ideas.
• By submitting, you are giving us the right to share your meme publicly.
• We will credit the meme to you whenever it is used by us. This will most likely be in our RDDS newsletter and a RDDS blog post. 
• University of Pennsylvania students, faculty, and staff are welcome to participate.

Submit your meme using our Meme Submission Form. 

Submissions are due on Friday, February 16th. Winner will be emailed on February 21st.
