A contest for a city flag was started in January in 1986. This was after the
forming of the Calexico Beautification Committee, headed by Isabel Aguilar. The
contest was open to all students and residents of Calexico. The deadline of this
contest was on February 28, 1986 at 5:00 pm. The prize for 1st place was $100,
2nd being $50, and finally 3rd receiving $25. No further information on this
contest, meaning it is certainly possible no flag was adopted.

In the Calexico flag contest, Deanna Wong won first place in June 1986. In
late November, 12 3x5 foot flags were ordered; 5 to use inside and 7 outside
from Carrot Top Industries. 9 were also purchased by the school district
superintendent to use at the district's schools. There is an image of the
winning design, however, it is in black and white and its details aren't
visible. It is assumed that the flag of Calexico was first hoisted in December
1986.
