The Library of Congress is sponsoring a challenge to help improve public knowledge of civics – that is, the rights and responsibilities of citizens – by asking video game developers to create fun, lightweight video games related to civics that incorporate Library of Congress resources. Check out submission details and cash prizes in this recent post from In Custodia Legis, the Law Library blog!
