Full annual standings and past winners

Congrats to /u/HistoricalTrip5247 on their 1st win! They will receive a custom flair of the winning flag and it will be forever enshrined within our Hall of Fame. They'll also get a custom flag from our new contest sponsors over at Flagmaker & Print!

[u/Brasitino_do_Sul]

OOOooo, didn't expect to get good results this month honestly! (procrastination got the best of me help)

I thought there were some awesome designs this contest! So, of course, I'll list some of my personal favorites!

The winner, Horns of Freedom (loved how our designs ended up one behind the other when we're basically mirrored versions), Black American Umoja, Canadian Black Spruce (which I thought was pretty clever while keeping it simple and connected to Canada), Canadian Bloom, Writing Black History and 12 Stripes, Every Month is BHM ^{(which I didn't expect to end as low as it did})

And also, as always, any feedback for my designs for Jamaica's and (especially) Canada's BHM is welcome!

[u/HistoricalTrip5247 → u/Brasitino_do_Sul]

Yeah, even the names for our Jamaican flags are very similar. What a coincidence 🤔
