City of Columbia seeks public comment on three city flag design finalists

COLUMBIA, MO (October 20, 2015) - The City of Columbia Office of Cultural Affairs invites the public to comment on the top three design finalists in the City Flag Design Contest. 

The Office of Cultural Affairs administered the contest, which offered citizens an opportunity to create a lasting symbol for the city that captures the history, beauty and uniqueness of our community. The contest was open to everyone, from amateurs to professional graphic designers.

The City received 84 entries by the application deadline in November 2014. After a public voting period on all submitted designs, the Commission on Cultural Affairs and city staff reviewed entries and chose a group of finalists. In September 2015, City Council reviewed finalists, selecting its top three. After a public comment period through January 2016, City Council will evaluate the feedback from citizens and make a final recommendation on the flag with official action at a future Council meeting.

The public can view designs and leave comments in person at City Hall in the Utility Billing area or on the Office of Cultural Affairs website at http://www.gocolumbiamo.com/Arts/CallforArtists.php. 

For more information, contact the Office of Cultural Affairs at 573-874-6387 or email OCA at GoColumbiaMo.com.
