We’ll know soon enough who won the 2024 general elections for president, Congress and other important positions. But we don’t have to wait a second longer to find out this year’s FactCheck Award winners.

The 2022 FactCheck Awards
We are very serious fact-checkers, but we also like to have a bit of fun. That’s why every two years, on Election Day, we recognize a few of the many political ads we see during the campaign cycle with some not-to-be-taken-seriously awards.
The 2020 FactCheck Awards
It’s an Election Day tradition: our awards for off-beat political ads.
The 2018 FactCheck Awards
We highlight the unique and unusual campaign videos from the midterm elections.
The 2016 FactCheck Awards
We highlight some TV ads that made us laugh out loud and either shake our heads or scratch them.
Our 2014 FactCheck Awards
The funniest, strangest and otherwise noteworthy ads of the campaign season.
The 2012 FactCheck Awards
It’s that special time of year again when campaigning is over (finally!) and the voting has begun. On Election Day we can stop being so serious about fact-checking false or deceptive claims and have some fun handing out imaginary hardware to those political ads that caught our eyes for other reasons.
The 2010 FactCheck Awards
Election Day has arrived; every voter has made up his or her mind (or should have, by now). So — just as we’ve done on Election Days past — we offer here some of the ads that we thought deserved special attention, not for the facts they present but for sheer style points (or lack thereof).
2008 FactCheck Awards
For those readers who’ve stuck with us through a lot of in-depth reporting on complex issues, we offer these just-for-fun awards for some of the most entertaining, most egregious, most off-the-wall or just plain grossest ads this election cycle.
Our 2006 Awards
As we wait for the ballots to be counted, we look back on some of that ads that caught our attention for other reasons. We offer these FactCheck.org awards just for fun.
