In celebration of our nation’s 250th and Scarsdale’s 325th anniversaries, the Village of Scarsdale invited residents to create and submit custom flag designs to celebrate these important milestones.

A wide variety of unique designs were submitted by residents ranging in age from 9 to 78, and a panel of judges reviewed all 42 designs before voting on the winner. The designs were judged anonymously on multiple criteria, and the panel narrowed the submissions down to the final two, who turned out to be mother and son, Ling Zhu and Entong Deng. The panel elected to combine the designs into the final, winning design and honor both winners.

The flag will be flown at key locations throughout the Village for the remainder of 2026.
