'Unity and pride'

The person who helped design the flag said he was speechless when he learned his sketch had been selected as the winner.

"This is one of those moments where it’s hard to express the sheer gratitude and amazement I’ve felt at this whole opportunity," Andrew Prekker of Luverne, a city in southwest Minnesota, released in a statement. "It's such a rare privilege to be able to contribute to our state’s history in such a special way like this... It’s an achievement that I hope brings a lot of unity and pride to our land, and I will hold that fact with great honor for the rest of my life."
