Flag of Saint Martin: 42 proposals under consideration
The competition to design the future flag of Saint Martin, launched last August as part of the My Saint Martin Flag project, officially closed on 30 September. This marks the end of one phase and the start of a new one: the review of the 42 proposals submitted to the Collectivité.
“This competition reflects a genuine collective commitment to our region’s identity,” says the Collectivité’s Cultural Affairs Department, which is spearheading the project. Indeed, the sheer number of entries is proof that the subject is a source of inspiration. But it is now up to the jury to meet and examine each entry. Only ten candidates will be shortlisted, and their designs will then be put to a public vote… which will determine the three finalists. Details of the voting process will be announced shortly on the ‘My Saint-Martin Flag’ Facebook page or on the website www.mysaintmartinflag.com
. The final decision will rest with the Collectivité’s elected representatives and must be adopted by the Territorial Council. The official unveiling of the Saint-Martin flag is scheduled for December.
