The Illinois Flag Commission will begin accepting public submissions for a new state flag design today. The initiative invites residents to contribute their ideas and creativity to potentially shape the future emblem of the state.

In an official statement, the commission emphasized the importance of public involvement in this project: "We believe that every resident should have a chance to participate in this historic opportunity."

The process for submitting designs is straightforward. Interested individuals can submit their artwork through the commission's website, which provides detailed guidelines and criteria for entries. The deadline for submissions has not yet been specified, but updates will be provided on the commission's online platform.

State officials hope that this inclusive approach will generate a diverse range of designs reflecting Illinois' rich history and cultural heritage. The final selection process will involve both public voting and expert evaluation to ensure a balanced representation of opinions.
