NOTE: Voting in the flag challenge will shut down at midnight Sunday, March 6.

Well, this is it, flag lovers and proud citizens of New Jersey! It's time to pick a candidate for a new flag for our beloved state.

A team of five judges has winnowed the field of almost 400 submissions to our New Jersey flag redesign challenge to the top ten. And now, it's your turn to vote on the best one.

As I explained when I started this endeavor in November - my plan was to drum up awareness of the lackluster nature of our often overlooked state flag and get folks considering other possibilities that could better celebrate our history and heritage and reflect our strong state pride.

If you're new to this, and looking for the reasons behind it, I won't re-state them here. You can read the initial post and watch the video (see links above) for that.

All ten of these, I think, do that better than our current flag. As promised, I will personally take the flag that receives the most votes to Trenton and lobby legislators for its adoption

And if I fail? Well, we'll all have learned a bit about history and had some fun. And maybe folks will feel a bit more pride in the flag we have. Wrong may she wave!

Here are the flags. Up vote the ones you like best. The designs with the most up votes will rise to the top.
