You’ve waited all year. Now it’s here and you need to get your brackets in!

We’ve reached the weekend, friends, and today, we bring to you a very special edition of #FOIAFriday.

In just a few hours, we’ll be switching off the brackets, powering up the Request-O-Matic, and sending out the same request to 64 federal FOIA agencies in a quest to find this year’s Most Responsive Agency.

We’ve also got a special exhibition bracket going, featuring the 13 agencies of the Department of Interior, giving you more chances to root for your favorite FOIA office and allowing the nation’s FOIA officers a chance to show us their moves.

Plus, this year, we can all be winners - of some sweet MuckRock stickers! Each submitter will receive his or her own badges of MuckRock pride to be placed on the surface of one’s choice. It’s America!

Learn how to play here, choose your champions below, and may the fastest FOIA office prevail! You have until 6pm EST to get your picks in!
