Official City of Longmont Flag Redesign
Help shape Longmont’s new city flag!
Longmont residents are invited to share their preference on three proposed designs for a new official City of Longmont flag.
Artist Notes
The designs were created by Longmont residents Tara Davids, Orlando Quiroz and Leah Winkler, incorporating distinctive symbolism, color, established flag design principles, and community feedback. The North American Vexillological Association, a national group dedicated to the study of flags, also provided suggestions to each designer.
As a part of their final submission, the finalists submitted a narrative that described their design and explained their process. You can find artist notes in the following link grid. The documents are exactly as submitted, but names have been redacted to prevent name based discrimination in the poll.
How the Designs Were Selected
A panel of Art in Public Places (AIPP) Commissioners, City Council members and community members selected the three semi-finalists from 89 applicants. Applicants were required to be Longmont residents or members of Native Nations whose ancestral homelands include Longmont.
Each semi-finalist received $1,000 for their proposed design. The selected designer will receive an additional $1,500 if City Council adopts their design.
What Happens Next?
Longmont City Council will review the public preference poll results at its meeting on Tuesday, Dec. 1, and may choose one of the flag designs at that time. Council will also consider retaining the current flag, designed by Longmont resident Glenn Troester in 1974 through a Longmont Rotary Club flag design competition.
Longmont 155 | Colorado 150 | America 250
The City is excited to present this opportunity as we celebrate Colorado’s 150th birthday, America’s 250th and 155 years since Longmont’s founding.
