Images and details of rejected flag designs

Ben Moore made this Official Information request to Department of Internal Affairs

The request was refused by Department of Internal Affairs.

From: Ben Moore

Dear Department of Internal Affairs,

I would like to request the flag designs submitted by the public which were (for whatever reason) not accepted and displayed among the suggested flag alternatives on the Flag Consideration Panel website.

I understand there were a number of criteria required of submissions, it would be helpful to have included the specific reason for rejection (i.e. the criteria against which a submission failed) included alongside the submissions' details, as well as any notes made pursuant to the rejection.

For the avoidance of doubt, I am requesting the image files of rejected flag designs, as well as any supplementary details, notes or comments associated with these image files.

To assist me with analysing your response, I also request any briefing materials or guidance around screening which was supplied to the staff responsible.

Please feel free to contact me if you require any further information pursuant to this request.

Yours faithfully,

Ben Moore
