Vashon Flag Contest

The Vashon Flag Competition was a big success!  We received and exhibited 41 different flag designs and roughly 325 Vashon residents voted on their favorites during the month of May.  With each person voting for their top three, that meant we received nearly 1000 votes total! 

There were a lot of good designs, and unfortunately that meant that the votes were spread out among many entries.  No single design got anywhere near a majority.  The most popular design got about 16% of the total vote, with the second place winner taking about 12%, and the third-ranked design taking about 10%.  That means that the remaining 38 entries accounted for 62% of the votes cast.  There was a bit of separation between 1-2-3 and 4-5-6, and more separation between 4-5-6 and the rest.  Almost every entry received some votes, with a majority of the votes being cast for those that were first-through-eighth place.  The scientists and mathematicians among you might recognize this as a truncated log-normal distribution, whatever that is.

The judges were not unanimous in their decision, even with direction from the public.  So, the goofball who curated the exhibit took it upon himself to do as they would in politics....pick the three front-runners and have a run-off election.  The flags that are being voted on are on the front page.

Email voting will be open until July 1. 

Send your vote to twowallgallery@aol.com.

Please forward this to other islanders if you can.  The more people who vote, the better the representation. And please vote only once.  Obviously, you can encourage others to vote, but if I hear of any bribes being paid, I'll expect a big one myself. Also, none of these flags has a border (black, white, or red).  Those are just the backgrounds where the pictures were taken.
