Official City of Longmont Flag Redesign

Longmont’s Art in Public Places (AIPP) program, on behalf of the City of Longmont, invites community members to submit applications to design a new official City of Longmont flag. The selected designer will create a distinctive flag that uses symbolism, color, and strong flag design principles to reflect community feedback, shared values, and aspirations for the future.

A panel of AIPP Commissioners, Longmont Rotary members and community members will select three semi-finalists from the pool of applicants to proceed in the flag redesign process. Each semi-finalist will be paid $1,000 for their redesign proposal, and the finalist will receive an additional $1,500 for a City Council-adopted redesign.

The current flag was designed in 1974 by Longmont resident Glenn Troester through a Longmont Rotary Club flag design competition. Following community feedback about the City’s current flag late last year, Longmont City Council directed the AIPP Advisory Board to explore options for commissioning a new flag. Council approved the redesign process proposed by AIPP at the May 26, 2026, City Council meeting.

The City’s is excited to present this opportunity as we celebrate Colorado’s 150th birthday and 155 years since Longmont’s founding.

More details about the application and the flag redesign can be found on the Call to Entry website.
