The Illinois State Flag Commission has picked 10 possible finalists for the state’s new flag.

Design elements range from Abraham Lincoln’s silhouette to green stripes representing rows of crops. The commission – made up of artists, historians and teachers – received nearly 5 thousand entries.

Residents can vote for their favorite creation online in January.

Once the public voting period closes, the commission will present their findings to the General Assembly.
