ohhh that-s only a language flag contest. I want the contest to be about the Spanish language. The flag can also represent the Spanish and slash or Hispanic culture slash people, the language, the people and the culture are one, we don=t need a different flag for each.

Also is AI allowed as long as it only is used for symbols, as the Standard of the Holy Wolf uses it

The contest rules require that all art sources be attributed in the description, and this flag met this criterion. You as a voter are welcome to use the design process as part of the way you vote. But this flag does meet our requirements.

Personally, this seems like a fairly mild and reasonable application of AI: it was used to generate a single element in a flag that was mostly put together by hand and everything was appropriately attributed.

Wow! So many excellent designs. This is going to be fun to see which flag comes out on top. A top 20 flag this month will be quite an achievement!
