Illinois Flag Commission To Start Accepting Submissions For Redesign Contest Next Week

The Illinois Flag Commission will start accepting submissions for a new state flag design next week. Ten designs will be selected that showcase Illinois’ diversity of urban, suburban, and rural communities. The IFA will host a two-month online public survey starting in January 2025. Residents can vote on either of their favorites or keep the current flag. Submissions for the flag contest can be sent by email or uploaded online starting September 3 and lasting through October 18. More information can be found on the Illinois Secretary of State’s website.
