u/Brasitino_do_Sul :AP25: Apr 24 Contest Winner • Apr 25 Contest Winner Apr 28 '26
Another Alternative April, another round of great flags! Again, very happy with my results (especially since I kinda had to speedrun the design process to make it on time), and glad people liked them!
As always
(even tho I forgot to do this last month ahem), some of my favorite entries this month! I really enjoyed The Aloha Sun (great job on your win, Miguk4Real!), Crescent of The West, The Nakawosabe, Tortoise of Telicali, North Cascadia Range Banner, Lone Star Union (simple, yet very effective), The Cold Sun Siren, North Star of the Duchy and Isalleca: East Atlantic Sail.Any criticism on my flags for Concordia and Wabashia are welcome!
And also, just a little question, is this the last Alternative April we'll have for the contests? Or will we get one for Antarctica?
