| CONGRATULATIONS to the WINNERS of the RON PAUL SIGN CONTEST! |

The Ron Paul Sign Contest concluded on November 8th, and the six judges have now finished their deliberations. To all those who helped promote this event, as well as the many participants, THANK YOU! In total, more than 40 new sign ideas were added to the RON PAUL SIGN PAGE - slogans that are now freely available for use by Paulunteers everywhere. (For some guaranteed laughs, be sure to check out the "Outreach" category - and remember, each new addition is indicated by  .)With more than 400 entries received from around the world (thank you, England and Japan!), the Judges' Panel had to make an exceedingly difficult decision. The contestants submitted a slew of creative, humorous entries, so we got a real kick out of the evaluation process. Perhaps most interestingly, there was very little overlap between the initial "Top Five" and "Honorable Mentions" submitted by each of the judges - a reflection not only of the large number of quality entries received, but also the individuality of those who judged the entries - a real microcosm of Dr. Paul's diverse base of support. Some contestants also submitted PICTURES of their own campaign efforts, as well as COMMENTS about the Ron Paul Sign Page and Contest. Without further ado, here are the Top Three submissions, along with those anointed as "Honorable Mentions"! CONGRATULATIONS to ALL!

Little did I know how difficult it would be judging the entries. We would each read our lists of favorites, give our reasons for liking the entries and all the heads would be bobbing in agreement with mutterings such as "oh yeah, THAT one IS really good". The entries were that excellent! princessredtights (Author) • 2007-11-12 14:55:42 |
