Thorntown Flag Contest: Design Our Community's New Symbol

7/2/2025

Designing a town flag isn't just about picking pretty colors; it's about weaving our shared story into a symbol that represents Thorntown. This is a chance to leave your mark, quite literally, on the fabric of our community. What images come to mind when you think of Thorntown? Is it the quiet streets, the friendly faces, our local history, or the vibrant spirit of our residents?

Consider the weight of what a flag truly signifies. It’s a beacon, a point of pride, and a visual representation of who we are to the outside world. When you’re sketching your ideas, think about the legacy you're creating. What message do we want to send to future generations about the Thorntown we know and love today?

This isn't just a contest; it's a collaborative art project for our town. Let your creativity flow, and show us what Thorntown means to you. You can find more details and download the flyer here: [Link to Flyer Download]. Pick up an application at the Thorntown Library, and remember, your drawing, along with a description of its meaning, is due by July 30, 2025. Let's create something iconic together.
