Final Chalk Showdown Current Championship Win Status
After 6 months of competitions, and 29 episodes, who will be the "Greatest Illustrator in the Universe of Tacoma for 2008"?
The Chalk Off competitor who prevails will acquire unquestionable artistic street cred in Tacoma.
The last Frost Park Chalk Off Episode will be on Halloween October 31, 2008 at Frost Park in downtown Tacoma at noon.
Summary : Andrea, RR Anderson and Stowe are all within striking distance of being crowned "The Greatest Illustrator in the Universe of Tacoma."
Here are two possibilities:
1) One of the three will prevail on Halloween and claim the title as "best illustrator"; or
2) None of them will win on Friday and it will be a three way tie.
There are many more possible outcomes.

Note : RR Anderson mistakenly lists Electric Elliot as the winner in Episode 21 when it was clearly himself with his Sarah Palin entry. Although RR's gesture to transfer a victory to another competitor is quaint, RR will have to live with the "CHAMPIONS BURDEN" should he prevail in Episode 30, just as any other chalk art competitor would.
