Anthony Conrad George BEM (7 January 1938 – 7 February 2024) was a Grenadian artist known for being the designer of the Grenadian national flag.[1] He resided in both London, England, and in mainland Grenada, where he grew up from the age of 10.
A prolific artist, in 1973 George entered a national design contest preparing for the independence of Grenada in 1974. The contest allowed entrants to submit designs for a new national flag and coat of arms with motto, George won both competitions.
However, he was not to receive full recognition for his designs until some 30 years later.
