The allocation of flag days is an annual exercise conducted by SWD upon the advice of the Lotteries Fund Advisory Committee (LFAC). Invitation for application for flag days in the coming financial year is normally advertised in newspapers around May and closed after a month. Applicant organisations should meet these eligibility criteria.
Flag day applications are considered and endorsed by LFAC around September. Applicant organisations will be informed around October of the results of their applications. Eligible applicant organisations will be invited to witness the lot-drawing, which determines their order of priority for selection of flag day. Successful organisations will be invited to select their flag days around November according to their priority as determined by the lot-drawing. Flag Day Permits will be issued to successful organisations around December.
