Out of more than a thousand ads submitted, the 26 ads below represent the cream of the crop.
The first fourteen are the overall finalists -- the fourteen ads ranked highest by the over 100,000 people who rated ads. These thirty-second spots were sent out to our panel of celebrity judges which includes Michael Moore, Donna Brazile, Jack Black, Janeane Garofalo, Margaret Cho and Gus Van Sant. These judges determined which ad won the contest overall.
The finalists for "Funniest Ad," "Best Animated Ad," and "Best Youth Ad" are also below. These ads were chosen by the Bush in 30 Seconds team, and then presented to the MoveOn membership for a run-off vote. If you're a member of the press, we can get you TV-ready copies of the finalists -- please contact press@bushin30seconds.org with your request.
