During the celebration event, the town council unveiled the winning designs, which were selected based on their originality, relevance to Newtown’s heritage and values, and visual appeal. The winning flag quite literally flying the flag for the town, is proudly displayed outside Sarah Brisco House in the town centre.

The main prize went to Amy Head, aged 18 who produced an digital design which incorporated the main landmarks of Newtown. She saw her flag unveiled at the town council offices alongside Mayor of Newtown & Llanllwchaiarn Cllr Mike Childs, and Deputy Mayor & Cllr Margaret Lewington. Reflecting on her achievements, Amy said:

“It is a great honour that I am able to participate in such an achievement and I am thankful for being able to help celebrate 50 years of Newtown and Llanllwchaiarn Town Council".

In addition to the main prize, the runner-up, third place, and highly commended were also acknowledged for their impressive contributions.

Mayor of Newtown & Llanllwchaiarn Cllr Mike Childs commented:

“I was greatly pleased by the number and quality of entries."

"There was a wide range of ideas, some concentrating on wildlife, some on buildings and bridges, some using downloaded images."

"We had entries from a wide age range, making judging particularly difficult. There were many entries worthy of being the celebratory flag, but I hope everyone will love the winning design.”
