Free designs - publicity for a large number of design firms. Less chance of something looking like garbage like the ones we have now.

The project should have went out to school kids for the upcoming year so that they could design and select a number of options to put forth before a Government panel and the public.
1. The opportunity would give kids a chance to learn about project specs, project execution and delivery.
2. Kids could learn about graphic design and creativity.
3. Kids could learn about the Alberta identity and how to represent the province.
4. Kids are happy to do things for free.
5. The kids are the future of this province and they need to start to feel an attachment with regards to shaping the future of our great province.
