Hey Manitou, Any flag ideas you wanna fly? - -

The City of Manitou Springs Flag Design Contest


The Manitou Springs Middle School students believe their town deserves to have its own flag and have launched a contest! Manitou Springs is a great place to live and to visit and a flag will unite people - reminding us all of our common vision and commitment to our community.

To view guidelines and possibly get some ideas to create a winning flag see: https://www.wikihow.com/Design-a-Flag.

We invite all ages to submit a design to this flag contest. Flag designs need to be in color - either on paper or canvas - and must be at least 8.5" x 11" but no larger than 14" x 16".

You may submit your entries in picture form by November 10, 2017 to:

[email protected]

If you prefer, you may mail or bring your drawing in person to

City Clerks Office
c/o Mayor Nicoletta
606 Manitou Avenue
Manitou Springs, CO 80829

The flag design entries will be displayed at City Hall and online on the city’s FaceBook, Twitter, and NextDoor pages. The winner will be announced by December 9th.
