Municipality of Hermoso Campo in the Department of Dos de Abril, Chaco,
adopted its official flag on 24.08.2013.
"Last Saturday, August 24th,
the jury convened for the "A Flag for My Town" Contest, approved by Ordinance
No. 990/13 of the Hermoso Campo Deliberative Council, met. Representing the
Minister of Education, Professor Sergio Soto, was the President of the
Education Council, Professor Griselda Galeano, who headed the jury for this
important competition. She was accompanied by the Mayor, Diógenes Aníbal
Requena, and other members of the jury, including councilors, a historian, a
graphic designer, and other community leaders.
This historic competition
resulted in the winning proposal being Envelope No. 4, whose pseudonym is Black
Power, for complying with all aspects of the Regulations.
The resolution
having been taken in the presence of the local press, Professor Galeano
proceeded to identify the author of the winner, who turned out to be Mr. José
Luís Morales, a 59-year-old sculptor, draftsman and painter, residing at Avda.
Libertador 185 in Hermoso Campo.
The
rationale for the selected design: It consists of three undulating fields that
begin in the lower sector of the Sheath, moving to the right towards the upper
sector of the hinge.
"The first field occupies the upper section of the pod,
and its light blue color represents the sky. The central field is white and
signifies purity. Meanwhile, the lower field occupies the lower section of the
pod, and its green color symbolizes both the characteristic forest of the Chaco
region and the cultivated fields. Each of these fields is separated by a brown
stripe representing Mother Earth."
"In the center, a sunflower cake
stands out like the sun, an emblem of the fruits the earth gives us, and
superimposed on it are the stylized initials H and C of Hermoso Campo, drawn in
black." Professor Galeano expressed her gratitude "… on behalf of the Ministry
and Council of Education for the trust placed in them, congratulating the
participants and organizers of Hermoso Campo, a young and progressive city in
the interior of Chaco province, which, starting on September 20th, the town's
anniversary, will see its flag flying alongside the flags of Chaco and our
national flag."
