After a contest, the Province of Chubut in Argentina has a new
provincial flag, created by Law No.5292.
In the center of the flag a wheel of gears will be observed: symbol of the
industrial production. Behind the gear and over it a rising sun similar to
the one shown in the Provincial Shield: "a great stylized, streamlined,
symmetrical sun, whose rigid rays represent the fifteen (15) departments
that integrate the Province and forecasting a shining future".
Underneath the rising sun, the identificatories attributes of the Provincial
Shield are represented: "the Florentino Ameghino Hydroelectrical Dam, in an oblique
perspective, estructure of fundamental importance that symbolizes the concretion
of the efforts to dominate the River and the conquest of modern engineering,
next to the creative effort of man for the development of the
agriculture is represented by a great stem of wheat that stands perpendicular from the top of the dam". The yellow horizontal line: represents the rivers of the
Province, and in particular the Chubut River, that crosses the territory
from the West to the East and of from which the Province takes its name. This line
expresses "the two historical stages of the political organization: the [historical]
National Territory and the [present day] Province".
The [upper white] zigzag line alludes to the Mountain range of the Andes. The
waving lower line represents the Atlantic Ocean. The celestial sky blue
color symbolizes the sky and beauty. The yellow [symbolize] force, vitality
and splendor as well as the wheat of the provincial agricultural production and the
sun. The blue color symbolize justice, loyalty and truth. The white color symbolize purity and faith.

The flag was designed by Roxana Vanesa Jones, a noted painter born in 1977 in Gaiman and currently living and working in Puerto Madryn.
The designer expected to link the flag with the provincial coat of arms, using some of its most significant elements as "a symbol of
unity between all those who were born in the province". She attempted "to respect the Chubut identity and to synthesise historical,
cultural, aesthetic and communication aspects".

The emblem was adopted by the law 523 of 9 December 1964. On the
shield is shown the dam Florentino Ameghino, an hydraulic structure
of great importance for the regional agriculture, as symbolized by
the wheat spike growing from the dam. The fifteen sunrays symbolize
the fifteen departments.
