*10000 Islands Best Flag Contest*

Dear residents, I'm happy to announce the inaugural Best Flag Contest for 10000 islands. If you think your nation's flag looks good/pretty/cool/awesome, do put it up for participation. The winner will get a taco prize of :-X10,000!

The Regional Reserve Bank has agreed to sponsor the competition. The competition will run until we have a good amount of entries. They will be picked by a panel of 3 judges including Sinns, Estay, and myself.

Here are some simple rules:
1) You can put up a maximum of 2 flags per nation.
2) These nation or nations must reside in 10000 islands. A residency requirement of 1 week is required.
3) Flags may be new but must be currently in use.
4) No offensive images.
5) You must signal your intention to enter by posting on this thread.

You may freely discuss the entries here. Your views are highly appreciated although judges reserve the right to pick the final winner.

Goodluck and have fun!

Edit : (The contest will be closed on 11 Nov 2006)

Girlsandboys proudly enter our flag in the contest and publicly declare that if we win any prize tacos we'll share them with the designer, who knows who he is but advertises through word in message.
BTW when is the contest to be held? (is their a deadline for entries?) and...will there be only one winner or also runner-ups?

A Semi-official announcement of the Society of Shocking Bliss Travel Promotion Board:

The revered Artists known as "Oh Brother!" wishes to enter the contest as emissaries of Society of Shocking Bliss! Their promotional slogan is “Let Us Slug You With Our Art!”

If they win they vow to use the prize tacos as the foundation of a performance art display. The details of this display are a trade secret - but it involves large numbers of the national animal, the banana slug, and several barrels of vanilla instant pudding.

It is widely rumored that this groups last performance art project, the infamous "flaming slug" project may have been the trigger that got The Society of Shocking Bliss ejected from the region known as The Pacific.

News Flash:

The epicurean group “Slugs; It’s what’s for dinner” staged a formal protest of the submission of the performance art group know as "Oh Brother!" entry in the 10000 islands Regional Best Flag Contest.

The protest centered on the travel promotions boards’ rejection of their rival entry theme of “101 ways to enjoy our slugs.” They vowed to submit the competing claim to the Society of Shocking Bliss’s Debate Club for consideration.

Developing story…

@harvasia and Shocking Bliss:
Judging from the NS XML feed, both of you are obviously long time residents of 10000 islands but you need to get your Forum account validated first. Please register and message Grub, so the judges can include you in the competition.

Girlsandboys: There is no dateline at the moment. We will close it when there are enough entries. There is only 1 winner.

oh gosh ND, how could you think of shoting those furry little things ! lol

@e.Powers: Since ND put it that way... I guess we can circumvent the rules and I'll post your entry in a week's time. Ofcourse, you have to be still in 10000 islands and posting on the board. (The rule is created to prevent people from coming and leaving, which alot of new nations do when they enter a region)

And everyone, keep those entries coming!

That'll help with having old-school islanders coming on and weeding out the nOObs.

Sounds like a good idea to me.

And... I can't help it! It's the nightvision green - it looks like something you would see when looking through the scope of a sniper rifle or something. Which, I hasten to add, looks cool.

Are there any more contestants? *ahem* remember, even if your current account is zero, an addition of 10,000 tacos will shoot you up the 10KI rich list right away. Isn't that right, Regional Reserve Chairman?

edit: We have decided not to admit Eastern Powers' entry after he has left our fair region yesterday.

I'd like to get in on this. You can look across the screen or go to my nation page to see the Bonnie Blue Flag, a flag nearly two hundred years old. First raised on my birthday 1810 as the official flag of the Republic of West Florida. The flag is synonymous with independence. It is the inspiration for state flags of Texas, Mississippi, and California. It was an unofficial flag of the Confederate States of America. The flag is used today to represent the South and for some states rights. The flag also flies in most of the Florida Parishes of Louisiana.

Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag
That bears a Single Star!
