Kidblast · Mar 26, 2007

I'd like to try!

Sweetness, we've got a solid number of participants now

Anyone who wants to can enter.

For a real challenge, one should make a flag of a hypothetical province of one of the British Dominions that never were.

That could work as well. Such concepts are related. Indeed, Newfoundland was its own dominion for a time before eventually joining Canada.

When will we start?

Fire God · Mar 26, 2007

I want to try also.

Magnificate · Mar 26, 2007

We will start shortly. It's a matter of hours, days at most.

1st Challenge will be posted on separate thread. Remember to post only your submissions there. All comments stay here.

Wow, I am very pleased with the flags that have been entered so far.

Great job!

I was rereading my post and realized I forgot to explain the symbolism of the white eagle- though I suppose it should be obvious, the eagle for Poland, the hammer and sickle for the strangely convergent Communism.

Very nice entries.

Haggis · Mar 28, 2007

I'm just worried about my paint one, it's not that good comparatively but for Paint it's alright. Still, great flags y'all and keep 'em coming.

So the Teutonic Knights in your timeline both stayed in Hungary AND went into Poland?

Magnificate · Mar 29, 2007

I'm pleasently supriced by the number and quality of entries. There is still time if you want to enter the contest.

Get the GIMP. It's free and pretty easy to use.

GIMP?

On a completely unrelated matter....should I try and magnify my flag to a larger size, or is it okay?

My flag is not of an independent state, it is a subdistrict of Greater Poland, which has become a USSR-analogue.

I did my flag in Paint- computer problems have separated me from Paint Shop Pro.

Lord Kraken's is very nice

Sovereign12 · Mar 30, 2007

I would like to win, but I see two I like allot, and I'm sure one of those will win.

I was thinking for the next Flag Contest or even a Round in this one. What if someone's TL on this site is picked to have flags made for them. It would be a TL chosen by Highlander and Magnificate, with permission of the TL's creator, which does not have flags for its nations.

That is an interesting idea, we shall consider it with Highlander.
