Decree n.o 707/95 Sep. 2nd, 1995. The winner is Jorge Alberto Esquível.
From 120 presented proposals, 40 were refused. The critics were harsh in
most cases — as I told you, the designer is a graphical artist. «This flag
is a painting, not a symbol» said the headline of one of the provincial
daily papers. No later law abolished it, however it is not used, not shown,
not talked about. It’s like it never existed.

![[Chaco emblem]](../misc/ar)cha.gif)
(click to enlarge)Artículo 1º: Declárese escudo oficial de la provincia del Chaco, el proyecto presentado por el señor Carlos López Piacentini, y cuyas características son las siguientes: reune los atributos clásicos del escudo nacional, la guirnalda del laurel, el sol meridiano y el lazo ondulado de cinta celeste y blanco. Los laureles son emblemas de victoria y de gloria; el sol meridiano que asoma es de veintitrés (23) rayas, uno flamígero y otro recto alternadamente y el moño o cinta que ata los laureles, es el distintivo histórico de los revolucionarios de 1810. Todo ello, en forma de Augusto marco, incluye como atributos históricos esencialmente chaqueños, la palmera y el arado.
quoted by Jaume Ollé, 18 Aug 2000
In 1955 Territory of Chaco was upgraded to Province under name of
Province Presidente Perón, and adopted the
Justicialist Party emblem as arms, but with
the likeness of J. D. Perón in center.
In 1955, September 4th, Peron falls, and the military take the power
ending the process.

I believe that in this era the argentinian cities dont have flags own
yet, only arms.
