Everyone in the world of public records has at least one experience that’s straight out of Kafka - maybe the agency gave an estimated completion date of next century, or the “responsive documents” turned out to be a couple hundred blank pages.
In that spirit of commiseration, MuckRock is proud to announce that we’re partnering again with EFF for the third-annual “Foilies” Awards.
Winners from last year included the Pentagon’s $660 million FOIA fee, the ODNI’s illuminating eight-page memo, and of course, these infamous envelopes:
Send nominations to foilies@eff.org with “FOILIES 2016 NOMINATION” in the subject line before Jan. 31, 2017. Please include a category, description, links, and a way for us to reach you with further questions. This information will remain confidential.
Alternatively, if it’s a MuckRock request, let us know the name and request number at info@muckrock.com and we’ll take care of the rest.
