Each year the Cooper-Hewitt Design Museum gives out prestigious design awards. This year, they've added something special to the process: a People's Choice Award. Impressively, this is for every design ever, so you could vote for the pyramids, if you wanted. Go to their website to vote for your favorite design (the winner will be announced October 18). You can even nominate your own design if you don't like what's up there. We're pretty partial to the paper clip, ourselves, though we're pretty sure it is not an "essential part of paper," like it declares on its page.
