| Notes: | The Isle of Wight Flag is a community flag proclaiming the unique identity of this historic English county. The Isle of Wight Flag Committee, in association with the County Press newspaper, organized a public competition to design a flag for the island. They received over 350 entries. These were whittled down to a shortlist of four designs which the public then had an opportunity to vote on. This was the winning design. |
