This competition is now closed to entries. The shortlist has been compiled.

Due to the Coronavirus situation it has been decided to postpone the online public vote until a later date. We will notify you on this web page and on BBC Radio Leicester of this date in due course.

In recent years dozens of Britain's communities have acquired their own flags. Now, there is only one of England's 39 historic counties without a flag - Leicestershire.

BBC Radio Leicester wants you to design one to fill this gap on the flag-map of England. We want to close that gap in 2020 and that’s why we are running a competition to design a flag for the county. The winning design will be incorporated into the finished flag.

You don’t need to be a skilled artist and anyone of any age can enter.

How to enter

Download and complete the entry form (.word) or (.pdf) and send it, along with your flag submission, either by post or email to:
