while I am partial to the dogwood of old, the signifance of the Tsawwassen to this date is not to be missed. the posts of the snow at Deas dock, in another thread are also quite typical of the season. mrdot.

The poll is now locked and we have our winners.

4th place winner is #23: M/V Issaquah at Fauntleroy
3rd place winner is #18: Horseshoe Bay
2nd place winner is #11: Elwha at Sidney
1st place winner is #2: Queen of Tsawwassen in Active Pass

The 4th place winner, #23, will be the first one to be displayed. Thanks, everyone, for all the fabulous entries. This was a tough one to choose from.

Are we including a Merry Christmas in the December banner as per the usual ? I haven't been on the forum much in the past year or two but I have been reading and the one thing I have noticed is a major discrepancy in the voting and polling for these flagship submissions. A first past the post system does not work with this many equal choices. May I suggest, round voting, take the top five and cast another poll.

Over the last few years, the WCFF header has been used to reflect certain events or holidays. For the month of December, a bow is shown at the top right corner of our header.

Could you elaborate further on why you feel there is "...a major discrepancy in the voting and polling"?

We have tried this before and it does not work.

It takes a lot of time for staff to setup these polls, not to mention the time needed for the polling to take place. We also found that some of those members who vote would only do so once and not participate in any further run-off votes.
