Semifinalists for Utah’s new state flag are now displayed outside the Capitol — and there’s still time to pick your favorite

Utahns have through Oct. 5 to submit their thoughts on which of the 20 flags should fly over the Utah Capitol in the future.

(Leah Hogsten | The Salt Lake Tribune) State flag designer finalist Angelina Nading of Vernal poses with her design after a press conference that revealed the 20 semifinal designs for the creation of the new state flag, Sept. 22, 2022 at the Utah Capitol. On Thursday, the Utah Department of Cultural & Community Engagement unfurled the 20 semifinal designs, now on display in the Hall of Governors. The design review committee is seeking public feedback through a SurveyMonkey form until Oct. 5, 2022. After that time, four to six flags will be presented to the task force, led by Gov. Spencer Cox and Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson. The final design will be presented to the Legislature later this fall.
