Minnesota State Emblems Redesign Commission

Inviting Design Ideas for New State Flag and Seal

Earlier this year, the Minnesota Legislature established a commission to consider and select new designs for the state flag and seal. The commission includes seventeen members, including the former chair of the Minnesota State Arts Board. Administrative support and coordination for the commission is provided by the Minnesota Historical Society.

The commission is now inviting members of the public

to submit ideas and designs for a new flag and seal.

Submissions will be accepted through October 30, 2023.

To read the guidelines and submit a design for the

new state flag and/or seal, visit the commission website.
