Forest Flag Contest 2021

.
.
.

.

This is a period of unprecedented change for Forest.

After the unfortunate CTE of our Founder, Errinundera, we find ourselves at the beginning of a new era; one that gives us the chance to redefine what Forest means and what it stands for. It’s time to look at things with a fresh perspective, and what better way to commemorate the turning over of a new leaf for our region than by hoisting a new flag that represents how far we’ve come and the boundless journey ahead?

The Tenth Cabinet of Forest is therefore proud to present the Forest Flag Contest 2021 – a chance for the many talented artists in our region to propose what they think is a fitting symbol for both our celebrated history and our new Founderless future. Contestants, dust off your crayons – let’s see what you’ve got!

Rules


  1. The submission period will last for two weeks, from the time of this announcement to Friday the 30th of April 23:59 UTC, after which no new submissions will be accepted. Note that submissions will only be accepted from residents of Forest (those residing in Forest at the time this contest is announced).

    • Submissions can be made by sending a telegram to me, Terrabod, containing a link to the design.

    • Each resident may submit only one design. If you change your mind about your submission, you may send me a substitute design before the above deadline.

    • Bear in mind that the final display image will be no larger than 300x200 pixels and that voting will be based on images no greater than that size. For reference, the current regional flag has a 3:2 width-to-height ratio.

    • The best designs will be instantly recognisable from a distance and will incorporate Forest’s existing iconography. Designs should utilise Forest’s iconic shade of green, which is defined as follows: HTML Code - #096309; RGB Code - 9, 99, 9; HSL Code - 120, 91%, 21%.

    • Discussing the inspiration and symbolism behind your design on the RMB (with a link to the design) is highly encouraged for the duration of the contest.

    • All submissions are subject to approval by the Flag Contest Committee. Any submissions that contain inappropriate or offensive content will be discarded.

  2. After the submission period has closed, the designs will be published in a dispatch. Once the designs are published, voting will commence via a regional poll that will last for three days. If no design receives a simple majority of the vote, the two designs with the most votes will be presented in a run-off poll lasting three days.

    • To avoid voter fraud, only residents of Forest that are members of the World Assembly during the voting period will be eligible to vote. We encourage non-WA residents to sign up to the WA during the voting period to cast their vote; once the contest ends they are welcome to resign from the WA.

    • If there are more than twelve submissions to be voted on, the entries will be split into groups. There will be a three-day poll for each group and potentially a three-day run-off poll.

    • The Linkupdated regional flag will go head-to-head with the most popular flag in a final round.

  3. The winning design will become our new regional flag!

    • The creator of the winning design may receive a commission to make seasonal or event-specific variants of their flag – watch this space.

.
If you have any questions, feel free to telegram me – or better yet, ask away on the RMB so that anyone with similar questions can read the answer.

May the best flag win. Good luck!
