Using the window as a frame is a very interesting and effective technique here, I think.
As a picture, I think that if the view out the window was better focused, it would have been better received. As it is, the "stuff" in the background is barely indistinguishable, especially to a voter going quickly. What hurts worse than the background being out of focus is that the window sill is also rather soft. As a result, the eye keeps searching for the focal point of the photograph, but since nothing is clearly defined as such, it doesn't hold the viewer's attention.
Also, outside the window seems a bit overexposed. Admittedly, this is one of the most difficult kinds of shots, at least for me, when one part is very bright, and the other is very dark. Given that, you have done well, but the overexposure adds to the fact that the information through the window isn't easily discernable.
As a challenge entry, *I* think your connection to the challenge is tenuous at best. You do, indeed, have a "cultural" subject, per se, but it doesn't "scream" event to me. Actually, it doesn't even whisper it. I may be missing something obvious, and if I am, please feel free to contact me and let me know. I suspect, though, if it is not that obvious to me, it may not be to others, either.
Again, using the window as a frame is very effective, and I like that it is tilted. That adds interest and variety, I think.

Really great idea. I wish the focus was just a tad sharper.
But you found a super frame for this image. |

| nice idea to frame your shot with the window. consider next time: using a vertical shot for a vertical window, not tilting the camera, and cleaning up the image elements (too many elements to focus the viewer's attention). |

| I have no idea what I'm supposed to get from this photo and I'm not sure how it meets the challenge. However...there is something appealing about the bottom 50% of the picture to me. I think it would be interesting if you were to crop the area above the far wall to eliminate the strip mall and vehicles.I guess that would make your title non-sensical though huh? :) |

| an interesting and unique perspective, good work on exposure (it's really easy to get into a lot of trouble getting the wrong exposure setting with a shot such as this), I would like to see it leveled with a horizon line |

| There's no cultural event here. A good use of the window to create a different view of the world. However the buildings - what we are looking at - are out of focus. |
