Saskatchewan is holding another election, but not a political one. The Royal Saskatchewan Museum is looking to choose a fossil as the newest provincial emblem. Everyone will be able to vote online between April 11 to 25, 2016.

The candidates are Brontothere, 'Big Bert' the Crocodile, 'Mo' the Long-necked Plesiosaur, Kyle Mammoth, Herschel Short-necked Plesiosaur, Thescelosaur and lastly, 'Scotty' the T. Rex. Fossils of each candidate will be displayed at the Saskatchewan Fossil Campaign exhibit.

The museum is also holding a video contest for middle school students. Classes are to choose which fossil they think would be the best emblem, research it, and enter a video to the museum. Videos entered will be posted online to promote each candidate. A winner will be chosen for the grand prize of a visit to their school from a Royal Saskatchewan Museum paleontologist. This contest closes April 25, 2016.

Students from Kyle, SK are very excited about their hometown fossil being in the running. They have already submitted their own video and urge everyone to vote in this exciting campaign.
