Church Sign Contest results

We would like to thank all of the participants who contributed to our church sign contest. Unfortunately, we can only award one grand prize, but we are extending an opportunity to the runners up to receive either a free GNU Public Dictatorship window decal or a discount pass for the GNU Public Theme Park. Just let us know which you would prefer and we'll get it to you. Once we narrowed the field to the nine finalists shown here, we used a rigorous survey process to assign Likert scores to each of them. Participants were asked to evaluate several statements on a scale of 1 to 7 with 7 meaning "strongly agree" and 1 meaning "strongly disagree". These scores were then combined and weighted based on the least-squares distance to the Board of Dictators. The statements used in the survey were:

1. This church sign could fool someone who didn't know it was faked
   
2. This church sign makes me laugh
3. This church sign expresses the values of the Board of Dictators
4. This church sign is not overtly offensive to any group
5. This church sign is clever

Our runners up included the following:

In third place we have this entry from Lucy Harrison of Lexington, KY:
