It has been a gruelling three weeks of soliciting entries, debating their merits, paring down the field, and then finally, subjecting the strongest competitors to a gut-wrenching winner-takes-all on-line poll. Today, only the true champion is left standing, and that champion is “Whistorical.”

Congratulations to Andrea Phillp for submitting the winning entry (it just squeaked by on the last night we were accepting names). For your creative contribution you are now the proud member of the Whistler Museum Archives Society and owner of a signed copy of Leslie Anthony’s White Planet. 

We received a lot of great entries and appreciate the strong response we received from the community, both locally and beyond (I would have been happy with any of the finalists, although, I must admit, I was rooting for Blog Tusk).  We’ll try to keep things interactive here at Whistorical so stay put for more ways to get involved and contribute to the site!

The polls are officially open! Over the last few weeks we have been accepting name suggestions for the new blog. Thanks for all your submissions; we had an excellent response and had to narrow the field quite a bit to get to these final five.

The final tally will be taken on June 20th, at which point we’ll crown the winner as moniker monarchy. Beyond the immeasurable glory that comes with having your title grace this website in perpetuity, the winning entry will also receive a free Whistler Museum membership and a signed copy of local author Leslie Anthony’s latest book White Planet.

For the keeners, you can double your voting power by “liking” our Facebook page (if you haven’t already) and voting on our mirror poll there.

So which title best suits a historical blog about Whistler, and the crazy, unique community that it serves? Take your pick:
