YOU made the choice in an on-line vote
The above flag will be the new official Bishop Monkton Flag, assuming approval by our VH Committee and the Parish Council and the possible need to have it legally registered.
The design, submitted by David Ralphs, was chosen from the 13 designs below, receiving 47.9% of the votes cast on-line on this website.
Assuming approval is forthcoming for the flag and its design, David will be invited to raise it on the Village Hall flagpole at an appropriate event later in the year. He will receive a framed photograph of the occasion and a picture of the unfurling will probably also be hung in the Village Hall.
We would like to congratulate all the other entrants for their designs which were also excellent.

Flag design competition for School pupils
We have also received 65 ideas for a flag from pupils of Bishop Monkton School and these are all of a very high standard.
So good in fact that we have decided to hold a parallel Flag Design competition which is just for the School.
The entries are currently being judged by a special panel and the winners will be named later in January.
In the meanwhile we would like to congratulate ALL those youngsters who took part and showed such artistic flair. Well done everyone!
