Five finalists, selected by CQ Roll Call editors, will be posted online Wednesday afternoon. Readers can vote for their favorite caption until 5 p.m Thursday.

The cartoon with the winning caption will appear in this spot the next Monday, along with an unfinished cartoon for a new contest. Contest winners will receive a signed color print of their Capitol Quip cartoon.
