FVAP CONTESTS CLOSE – NOW TO CHOOSE WINNERS
Vote for the 2011 Slogan and Poster Contest Winners
The Slogan and Poster Contests have closed with over 1,400 slogans and 150 posters submitted. FVAP staff has narrowed the field to the very best entries and needs you to vote for the winner. The finalists will be decided by a combination of your votes and those from members of the United States Congress. A weighted scoring process will be applied with the public vote accounting for 60% and Congressional votes accounting for 40% of the total scoring.
The FVAP Slogan Contest called for slogan ideas that will inspire members of the military, their families and U.S. Citizens residing overseas to participate in elections while away from home. Please vote for the slogan/poster finalists now at http://challenge.gov/challenges/115.
The FVAP Poster Contest sought artwork illustrating the importance of and/or how it feels to be an American citizen voting absentee from anywhere in the world. This artwork will be used to create the 2012 voting poster and the Voting Assistance Guide cover. Voting for this contest takes place at http://challenge.gov/challenges/116.
