The image pretty much says it all; Klingons!
I tried to include as much of the symbology that we've seen on the show as possible, including the original klingon emblem from 'errand of mercy', the more well known 'trident' symbol, various devices worn on the sash of different characters, banners seen on DS9, and from some of the symbols on klingon weapons (duras particularly)

So... I'm gonna vote for you....

One question, what it the little gray-scale Klingon emblem to the lower right of the House of Kahless and the other one lower right of the House of Martok for?

I love how you've worked in a bunch of stuff from the various series. Especially the badge shapes that they wore and the wall fixtures from the TOS episodes. This is great work. You obviously put some thought into it!

I'm going to have some stiff competition this month! :) Very well done. Was this made with Adobe Illustrator? The lines are very slim and precise and I REALLY like your tribal work included in the crests.
 
Thanks guys! Looks like I'll have some stiff competition myself! ;) Albertese, um... that would be because I forgot to delete them ;) and 137th geburg, it was made in corel draw, though from what I understand they're fairly similar programs..
 
Gotcha. I thought maybe they were there as some sort of extra badge since Kahless was the first emperor and Martok wound up as the chancellor. Sort of like, if you are the highest ranking Klingon at some point, your house's emblem gets to show that off in a conspicuous way like a little extra badge ...

I dunno.
