Contest: ENTER Misc Avatar Contest: The Halls of Power

[Avro Arrow]

Welcome to the new Misc Avatar Contest! Our theme for this contest is The Halls of Power. Your entry should depict a building where governing takes place, for any government that represents you.

The ground rules:

• Should be a building where the government meets or works from, not just any "government building" housing, for example, a civil service office.
• Any level of government is fine: federal/national, state/provincial/regional, municipal, etc., as long as it is for any jurisdiction you fall within.
  
• If separate, a building that houses either the legislative or executive branch is fine.
• No media, except for news sources
• XenForo avatar rules for this one: maximum size of 200 x 200 pixels, or 1 MB if animated. (Pictures of architecture could use the bigger size.)
• Contest will be open for approximately one week.

I'll start us off with the Ontario Legislative Building in Queen's Park, Toronto:

Have fun!

Nice idea. It will be interesting to see the seats of government from all over the country and the world.

Does it have to be contemporary? If so, here is the State House in Boston:

If not, here is Independence Hall in Philadelphia, site of the Second Continental Congress:

Good question! Let's stick with contemporary.

Just thought I'd give this a little bump. We haven't had many entries.

 

[Avro Arrow]

^ Yeah, sorry, I guess this subject was a bit of a bust.

We're at the one-week point now, but I'm going to leave this open for three more days, in case anyone else wants to enter. Look for the poll to be posted Monday night.

Our entries so far:

The subject is good; maybe the problem is that tomorrow is Mother's Day...holidays always mess up these contests.

 

[RJDiogenes]

Well, the theme is "Halls of Power." We could all post pictures of our Mother's house.
