MIT has an Institute Screw competition each year.  You vote for your favorite
candidate at $ .01 per vote, with the proceeds going towards some charity.

The winner is usually some objectionable person at the Institute:  this year,
even though Ronald Reagan got the most votes, he wouldn't accept the award,
so it went to the Dean for Student Affairs.
