Thanks to everyone who participated in our Favorite Flash Memory contest celebrating four years of Speed Force! 45 of you shared your stories of the Flash and Flash fandom, and 142 of you voted for the top four.

And now, the results are in!*

#1 with 36 votes: Wally East

My favorite memory of The Flash is him helping me through the end of a particularly bad training run. The run was just one of those sucky runs happens now and then. Toward the end, I started remembering how in a story I had just read (I can’t remember what story at the moment) had pushed harder and harder even though he wanted to stop. He didn’t let the pain stop him. He hit the wall and kept running hard. I thought about how Wally is just a regular guy with superspeed. If he could hang in, so could I since I’m a regular guy, too, just with regular-guy speed :-)

Wally East wins our grand prize: a 1st Appearance Jay Garrick action figure, a Flash: Rebirth #4 variant cover signed by Geoff Johns, and a Flash: Rebirth poster! Congratulations, Wally!

Read on for the rest of the winners!

Hey there, Flash fans, and welcome to Speed Force’s fourth anniversary celebration! We four regular contributors will be writing about some of our favorite Flash memories, and thought it might be nice to get you folks involved as well. What better way to do that than with a contest?

Here’s how it’ll go: simply share your favorite Flash-related memory, or an early memory that you think is pretty special (for whatever reason — it could be entirely personal) in the comments section of this post. We’ll collect the stories and set them up as a poll to be voted on by readers, and the top-rated four will win!

There will be four winners, and the contest will run until 9 pm ET on Tuesday, June 19. Prizes will include Flash variant issues. There aren’t any rules or restrictions, although please share just one story to make things fair for everyone. So dig deep into your memories, and have fun!

Update: Vote for the top 4 here!

There will be one Facebook Winner and one Tumblr winner.  

All you have to do to be entered into the contests is either A) “Like” my page on Facebook, or B) Reblog this message on Tumblr (Likes do not count but still appreciated). Those who have already “Liked” my page on Facebook will be retroactively entered into the contest and yes, if you “Like” my page and Reblog this message you will be entered into both drawings. It is possible to win both! Each individual entry will be assigned a number and I will then use a random number generator to determine the winners. I will only ship to winners in the continental United States and Canada.

Tumblr Rules:

2) You may reblog this up to five (5) times. Anymore than five (5) reblogs and you will be disqualified.

3) While a follow would be appreciated it is not necessary to win the contest.

4) Your “Ask” must be enabled. It is the only way to contact you if you win. If your ask is not enabled I will have to choose someone new.
