This was our second attempt, and we learned from the previous winners that we needed a funny theme, so we fully embraced that idea.

One of our classmates suggested we run as Mao Zedong, which most of us liked, so we built the whole campaign around it. We produced a fake news broadcast and a bunch of ridiculous parodies. It was my favorite theme because it felt limitless and genuinely fun.

In the end, we still came in second place by seven votes, and last year's winners took the trophy again...
