Grainthorpe village flag design competition
Closing date: Sunday, 5 November 2023
The GCVA are delighted to launch this competition to find a flag to represent our village.
Local flags help to foster a sense of community They create a symbol which members of that community can relate to. A symbol holding the incredible power to unify, whether that’s a competitive nudge in a sports game, a nation celebrating its history or diversity. We would like the same for Grainthorpe, a flag that represents us all. The Winner of this competition will see their flag officially registered and flown in our village.
How to enter:
The competition will be open to anyone nation wide. A great flag should be simple whilst staying distinctive and rich with symbolism that makes unmistakably representative of Grainthorpe.

The design will then be registered and a flag will be created and unveiled at an event later in the year.
