The final flag design for the new national flag may be a combination of a number of entries.
National Flag Committee, Chairman and Minister for Youth and Sports, Iliesa Delana says entries for the competition to design a new national flag genuinely express the Fijian spirit.
1,430 individual entries have been received in the competition to design a new national flag.
While going through some of the entries yesterday, Delana says he was struck by how people came up with symbols that encouraged national unity.
He says people have come up with symbols which everyone can relate to, whether it is masi, the dove of peace, the tabua or symbols depicting the sea.
Delana says he is very excited to lead the search for the final design and is confident that the designs have given them a very good base to start from.
He has also thanked every Fijian who entered the competition.
