While you're gearing up for the presidential debate, here's something you don't see every day. These busts of Barack Obama and Mitt Romney are made entirely of Play-Doh.

The two busts are this year's winning entries for the "Play-Doh Artist of the Year" contest. Each artist was asked to sculpt both the Democratic and Republican party 2012 presidential candidates. The winner, Ian Williams, is a student at the Rhode Island School of Design Sculpture and Ceramics department, which worked with Hasbro to offer the winner a $5,000 tuition stipend.

Williams will also work with Hasbro to create a variety of original Play-Doh creations for use on the brand’s digital channels, which will be displayed on the Play-Doh Facebook page.
