Pitt County Government is launching the Pitt County Flag Redesign Contest which starts February 1 and will run through March 12.
 
Pitt County designers, young and old, are encouraged to participate in the contest, which will ultimately lead to the Pitt County Board of Commissioners adopting a new flag. Participants will have the opportunity to make their mark on Pitt County history by submitting a full-color flag design that uses the Pitt County seal and/or logo, and follows the contest’s other rules of entry.
