African flags need more love.
Might I suggest disallowing the pan-African colours too? Otherwise you'd get many variations on the same theme.

Ok then, go and set up a poll on Strawpoll and post the link here. The quickest and easiest thing we can do.
We're having a poll to decide what the challenge theme should be. ATL Bantu nation, or Slavic Asian colony, (not Russian though!)
Quick question: does the fact that I tied for first disqualify me from participating in the next round?
I might be wrong, but I don't think that should be a problem. I always got the impression that the rule existed more to prevent the host from selecting a challenge they could easily win than to just prevent winning streaks. Given that Petike took on the host role this time, it's probably fine?
Sounds good to me.
Petike, in your capacity as WFC archivist, do you know if there has been any precedent of a tied round following by one of the winners being allowed/disallowed entry in the next round? I would like take a Common Law approach and keep things consistent.
In previous tied rounds, there has usually been agreement between the victors as to who would post the next challenge, with the other victor allowed to enter, from my experience.
That's what I recall, though I defer to our Archivist on this one.
As Rarayn says the spirit is to more to prevent the host from selecting a challenge they could easily win
You know, I think we have enough votes already. Not ten votes for either yet, but 7 for Bantu flags and 5 for the Slavic colonies speaks pretty clearly, IMHO. In the interest of not wasting anymore time, I'll be putting up the new challenge in the coming minutes. In the words of King Lalibela's cousin twice-removed, "Watch this space !".
I wouldn't self-appoint myself as the WFC's archivist or anything, even if I've done some work archiving all the stuff until now. Can't speak for any of the rules outside of those I've read about - which, admittedly, might not be all of them. To date, I've mostly just catalogued stuff, not much the technicalities of the contest (though I might get to that too, sooner or later).
As for whether me and CyberPhoenix should compete, I'll personally refrain from taking part in this following round. Whether CyberPhoenix will is up to him. I won't judge him for participating. It's supposed to be all in good fun anyway.

I did not compete in my Challenge, nor did I vote in that one. I just felt I should be excluded until the next round. But that is just my feeling on it.
