We will soon be posting on Facebook the 16 entries for the city flag competition. North Newton citizens will vote for their favorite flag design on Facebook, or by paper ballot at City Hall or Kidron Bethel Village. Be watching! Design Criteria: keep it simple, use meaningful symbolism and only 2-3 colors, no lettering or seals, be distinctive, relative and timeless. Selection Process: After the public voting phase, the top few will go before a scoring committee who will make a recommendation to the City Council for adoption.
