In celebration of the County’s upcoming bicentennial anniversary, in December 2019, the Cook County Board of Commissioners embarked on a historic redesign of the new flag. The culmination of a high school competition, professional mentorship, and expert scoring, we now have a new symbol by and for all residents.

The "I Will" flag, a result of a County-wide contest that was open to high school students, flew over Daley Plaza for the first time in September 2022. A video of the flag raising ceremony can be seen here.
