The City of Vodice, now one of increasingly few cities in Croatia without an approved coat of arms and flag, published recently a public contest for their design. If you are inspired and find time for it, see details at  http://www.grad-vodice.hr i.e. http://www.grad-vodice.hr/assets/files/javni_poziv_grb.pdf

The dead-line is 2nd November 2010. If you decide to run, we wish you much success.
