Proposed Designs

For years, talented Minnesota designers have created works to inspire change.

To avoid any confusion between our team and the seperate State Emblems Redesign Commission, we will no longer be accepting design submissions for our site. Thank you to everyone who did send in their designs and congratulations to those selected for display here!

Please visit the commission’s site for the latest updates: https://www3.mnhs.org/serc

The group is tasked with producing new designs for the flag and seal by Jan. 1, 2024. Unless rejected by the legislature, the new emblems will automatically become official on Minnesota Statehood Day on May 11.
