Contests and Rules[edit]
Monthly Contests[edit]
Every month the subreddit holds a contest where people will create flags for places that don't have one, redesign existing flags, create flags for fictional places, etc. The subreddit is also known to collaborate with r/ImaginaryMaps for their contests, and the winning fictional countries from the Imaginary Maps Subreddit, can and have been picked as the fictionary country for which flags are created. Usually, a contest is held with the first 15 days going towards the creation of the flag, and the last 15 days going towards voting and deciding which flag/s is the best. When somebody's flag is voted as the number one best flag of the month, it is placed in The Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame is an image containing all the past flag winners and when they won.

The subreddit has lots of rules to ensure that every post is filled with information and remains serious. There are seven rules which in short can be described as:
- Discussion should be related to the study of flags[5]

- Avoid discussing NSFW Tag[5]
- Don't crosspost to political, meta, or drama subs[5]

The 7th rule means that when creating a post, you must also comment on it, explaining whatever you have created in a serious manner, within the first few minutes of the post being up.
