Finalist Designs
High school students – the County’s next generation – were asked to submit thoughtful flag designs representative an inclusive representation of Cook County, the rich diversity of its residents, the beauty of its landscape, the innovation of its institutions, and the pride of our history.
Nearly 300 designs from students at 40 high schools across Cook County were narrowed by an appointed Flag Advisory Panel to six finalists now being considered by the Cook County Board of Commissioners.
Each flag submission went through its own individual design journey starting with a student’s vision. The students spent time honing and refining their work with their professional design mentors. Take a look through these imaginative submissions.
