Flag of the Corn Islands

The flag of the Corn Islands consists of three rectangular stripes: turquoise green on the top, white in the centre, and brown on the bottom, featuring the Municipal Seal at its centre.

In 2009, a student named Shayron Tower, who was 11 years old and attended the Rigoberto Cabezas Primary School, made the flag. He won a contest on August 26 in Southwest Bay that was organized by the Municipal Government and Culture Committee. This contest was held among schools to choose the islands' flag and celebrate the 168th anniversary of the emancipation of slaves.

The Municipal Council officially approved the flag as a local symbol later that year. The flag was hoisted for the first time in public in 2011 at the Karen Tucker Stadium during the Atlantic (now Caribbean) Baseball Series.
