4 have shaped the colours and content of these most evocative of
symbols. In the South Pacific, New Zealand has launched a
competition to find a flag that represents both its modern,
7 multicultural identity and its rich indigenous heritage.
It is quite tough to represent an entire nation on a
piece of cloth. The Kiwi public has until 16 July, 2015 to
10 submit its ideas to an independent panel, made up of prominent
New Zealanders who will help decide what a new flag will look
like. Its task is to choose what it considers to be the best four
13 entrants, which will be the subject of a referendum in
November. There will be a second binding vote early next year
when the winner will go up against the current New Zealand
16 flag, which features the old colonial British Union Jack on a
blue background with four red stars symbolising the Southern
Cross constellation.
19 Thousands of submissions have been made. Each one
will be considered individually, before this long list is finally
whittled down to the final four. In New Zealand, the most
22 common themes in the national flag consideration project are
the silver fern, a plant easily found in New Zealand, and the
kiwi, a flightless bird with a long bill.
