Flag of Lincolnshire
The official flag of Lincolnshire was unveiled at five separate ceremonies across the county on 24 October 2005. The flag was chosen in a popular vote〔 organised by BBC Radio Lincolnshire along with ''Lincolnshire Life'' magazine.〔 The winning entry, designed by Lincolnshire-born Michelle Andrews, a web producer at BBC Lincolnshire, was selected from a shortlist of six designs〔 Presents six candidate flag designs, with explanations of their symbolism.〕 and allegedly〔Detailed results of the "vote", which apparently permitted individuals to cast multiple votes and was not subject to independent scrutiny, have never been published.〕 attracted thousands of votes.
==History==
The design was the result of a two-year campaign sparked by a letter to ''County News'' from two readers keen to raise the county's profile. Fred and Pat Rickett, from Moulton, both keen caravanners, wrote to the paper in 2003, asking why Lincolnshire had no flag that they could fly on caravan rallies.
Their plea was taken up by BBC Radio Lincolnshire, which launched a campaign in partnership with ''Lincolnshire Life'' magazine that culminated in a popular vote. Their campaign was supported by many local businesses, who saw it as a good way to promote trade and tourism in Lincolnshire. However, in a Lincolnshire County Council poll that was concluded on 31 October 2005 it was asked: "Do you like the design of the new Lincolnshire Flag?" Of the 273 votes recorded, 34% said "''Yes''" and 66% said "''No''".〔 Newspaper report mentioning the adverse poll results〕
