Y4Y Quebec, which is based in Montreal, says it was inspired by French-speaking communities in other provinces of Canada who created their own flags.

The organization’s website offers three flag proposals made by four young English-speaking artists from Quebec, all students: Albano Anis, Dana Isaac, Muriel Smith and Coco Wang.

People are encouraged to vote on the Y4Y site for the flag they prefer.

The organization says the one that receives the most votes will become “the official” flag to represent English-speaking Quebecers.
