Illinois opens contest to redesign state flag

The commission will accept design ideas for consideration from the
public, online or via mail, until Oct. 18. They plan on working with
schools and libraries to encourage more residents to take part.

“I’m excited to see the creativity of Illinois residents and how they
display their passion for our great state,” said Giannoulias. “The
symbols that represent and unify our state are important and this
presents an excellent opportunity to engage Illinoisans and showcase
their pride.”
