Over the last few months, the Reno Flag Project invited the public to give their input on Reno's new flag, and in a council meeting Wednesday afternoon, the council chose Reno's new flag from three finalists voted on by the public.
Reno's new flag design features a blue background with a centered, circular emblem of mountain silhouettes and a star in the top corner. A photo of the flag has been attached with this story. The new flag will be publicly debuted at Greater Nevada Field on May 9 in celebration of Reno's 150th birthday at the Biggest Little Birthday event.
The Reno Arts and Culture Commission previously held two educational workshops on flag culture and design at The Holland Project and had an open submission period for flag designs from November 30, 2017 through March 2, 2018.
More than 200 submissions were received. The Arts and Culture Commission’s Reno Flag Committee met on March 14 and narrowed the submissions down to 13 finalists.
From there, the Arts and Culture Commission chose a top three. The top three were presented to the Reno City Council Wednesday afternoon.
