DEADLINE:
Postmarked or submitted here by WED, MARCH 22, 2017.
All entries will be judged based on the North American Vexillological Association's (NAVA) five design priciples:
-
Keep It Simple. The flag should be so simple that a child can draw it from memory.
-
Use Meaningful Symbolism. The flag’s images, colors, or patterns should relate to what it symbolizes.
-
Use 2-3 Basic Colors. Limit the number of colors on the flag to three, which contrast well and come from the standard color set.
-
No Lettering, Logos or Seals. Never use writing of any kind or an organization’s seal.
-
Be Distinctive or Be Related. Avoid duplicating other flags, but use similarities to show connections.
