(KAIR)--It's not the Final Four, but it's still a contest worth noting, as the City of Atchison enters round five of the Kansas Hometown Showdown.

Sponsored by the Kansas League of Municipalities, the contest, played out on Facebook, allows the public to vote on a selected photograph representing the cities in competition.

The photo submitted by Atchison was taken by photographer Rox Stec, and shows the Amelia Earhart Memorial Bridge lit in red, white and blue lights, which, when reflected in the river below, becomes an image of the nation's flag.

The City of Atchison has made it's way into the final four, challenged in the competition by the cities of Rose Hill, Coffeyville, and Fort Scott.

Voting is conducted by “liking” the image submitted by the city.

Voting for round 5 is underway now through noon March 28th.

A link to the voting page can be found here.
