Flag competition

Valentin Poposki has pointed out this report of a flag competition. The competition is for a flag for the West Coast and Eyre Peninsular region of South Australia, to "give the region an identity". The region is not a formal entity, and the competition is sponsored by a local member of state parliament, Liz Penfold, although the intended region seems to include the whole Eyre Peninsular, not just the parts that are contained in her electorate of Flinders.

While entries can be "quirky, fun or serious", there is a single required component - an outline of the coastline from the Western Australia border to the top of the Spencer Gulf.

Has a map on the flag ever been a requirement in another competition? It seem slightly strange, although this particular outline could work well.
