Finalists for New Minnesota Flag Designs Announced

The State Emblems and Redesign Commission in Minnesota has selected six designs as finalists for the next state flag, out of over 2,500 submissions. Among the finalists are Brandon Hundt, a product designer and writer, Sarah Agaton Howes, an Ojibwe artist and small business owner, and Todd Pitman, a graphic designer. The designs aim to create a flag that represents all of Minnesota and its diverse communities. The commission may refine the designs before a final vote, and the chosen emblems will be revealed on Statehood Day, May 11.
