2025 Thursday Doors Badge Contest

Dan Antion
1 minute

Now is the time for all good Thursday Doors participants to choose the badge for 2025. I know, corny. However this is why were here. Below are the entries for this year’s contest — displayed in the order in which they were received. Look them over, choose a favorite and let me know in the poll below. I am also participating (twice) in Linda G. Hill’s Just-Jot-It-January challenge this year. Today’s prompt is Why? and it comes to us from Willow at willowdot21. Why is it that only participants can vote for the new Thursday Doors badge?

Note: Only people who participated in Thursday Doors during 2024 are eligible to vote!

So, why? Easy: It’s only fair that the people who will be displaying the badge be the ones to choose what it looks like.

Good luck to all the entrants.

    There are some great badges here, Dan. My particular favourite is Ritva’s, but I haven’t voted because I’ve never displayed one of your badges, though I’ve occasionally taken part in Thursday Doors. Have a great week!

    Nah, looks like I have been kicked out again. Server error. Please try again and again and again until you give up 😂

    I like Ritvas but I think I would like Teagans more modernist approach

    I really like doors 1 and 4. One says it all, but 4 has the tropical vibe that I like so much. So I’m going with 4!

    After reading Brian’s comment, I’m not sure whether my vote went through. I should have waited and used my laptop… All very suitably doorzy entries. Thanks for hosting, Dan. Hugs.

      You can vote again. I take the last vote entered. Actually, the poll isn’t supposed to allow a second vote, so if your vote was counted, you shouldn’t be able to vote again.
