Sale of Seychelles National Flags

The Seychelles National Flag of the Third Republic (hereinafter referred to as the National Flag), was designed and conceptualised by Mr. Philippe Uzice in 1996. The National Flag is the product of a nationwide competition launched in 1996, with the aim of creating new symbols which would better represent the Third Republic.

The current National Flag is the third Seychelles National Flag since the country gained its independence on 29 June 1976.
