Vote for the Guam Quarter

Designs for Guam Quarter Online, Community to Vote on Final Version
May 20, 2008

Governor Felix P. Camacho today released two designs for the Guam quarter prepared by artists of the United States Mint as part of the District of Columbia and United States Territories Circulating Quarter Dollar Program.

Each design can be voted on and the design with the highest amount of votes will be recommended to the U.S. Mint. Votes will be collected until June 14, 2008.
"I encourage all residents to take part in the selection process," Governor Camacho said. "The Guam quarter will be a lasting symbol of our heritage and our people."

Governor Camacho submitted the two design narratives selected from 59 submissions from the people of Guam.

The United States Mint has spent the past two months working closely with the Guam Quarter Dollar Program Design Evaluation and Selection Process Task Force in developing the designs that are emblematic of Guam. Final designs for the Guam quarter are expected to be completed by July.

#1:)

I know #1 is probably the design that will be the most popular, but I felt that that #2 was more reminescent (sp?) of the Guam seal...
