Wildland Firefighter Foundation design on NASCAR car

Wildland Firefighter Foundation

The first round of voting for the Wildland Firefighter Foundation design for the paint scheme on the NASCAR car has ended, with the WFF design receiving 14,662 votes. If you voted for the car, thank you.

(note, March 19: this judging procedure below was corrected today.)

The ten cars receiving the most votes in the first round will move on to the second round. Voting during the second round will be between April 1 and April 15.

After the voting for the ten cars in the second round is complete, the judges will select the winner based upon:

1. Number of votes in the first second round (20%),
2. Originality of design (20%),
3. Feasibility of design (20%),
4. Creativity of design (20%), and
5. Ability of the design to inspire consumers (20%).

UPDATE: March 19, 2010:

As of today the car is ranked #7 in the first round. Not bad in a field of over 78,000 entries. Each car is eligible for voting for only 15 days, and some cars are still open for voting. You can see the latest voting results here. It is too late to vote for the WFF car in the first round, but hopefully it will make the next round and we can vote for it again.
