February 26, 2010, is the deadline for proposals for a design for a new "Art Works" logo for the National Endowment for the Arts. The winning finished design may be reproduced by the Agency in print and online. It appears the winning designer will be awarded $25,000, but we're not sure. See if you can understand the jury process:

"The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer, conforming to the solicitation; will be most advantageous to the Government; price and other factors considered. In order to select the winning offeror, NEA will rank offerors from best to worst. In addition to the narrative assessments prepared by the Evaluation Team for each evaluation factor, a point scoring system will be used to rank all technical proposals. The point scoring system uses a rating scale of 100%. However, NEA will not select an offeror for award on the basis of a superior capability without consideration of the amount of its price. In order to select the winning proposal, NEA will rank each offeror by making a series of paired comparisons between them, trading off the marginal differences in capability with the marginal difference in price."
