Possible flag

A contest for a city flag was started in January in 1986. This was after the forming of the Calexico Beautification Committee, headed by Isabel Aguilar. The contest was open to all students and residents of Calexico. The deadline of this contest was on February 28, 1986 at 5:00 pm. The prize for 1st place was $100, 2nd being $50, and finally 3rd receiving $25. No further information on this contest, meaning it is certainly possible no flag was adopted.

In the Calexico flag contest, Deanna Wong won first place in June 1986. In late November, 12 3x5 foot flags were ordered; 5 to use inside and 7 outside from Carrot Top Industries. 9 were also purchased by the school district superintendent to use at the district's schools. There is an image of the winning design, however, it is in black and white and its details aren't visible. It is assumed that the flag of Calexico was first hoisted in December 1986.
