(KAIR)--And then there were two.

That follows the end of round five Monday in the online “Kansas Hometown Showdown” competition, where the city of Atchison has reached the final round.

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.

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

The City of Atchison is challenged by the City of Fort Scott in the championship round, which will remain open through noon on April 4th, with the winner to be announced that day.
