Economist Gareth Morgan's planning to enter the competition to design the flag, but he's come across a major hurdle.
He can't draw, so his foundation's holding a competition for someone to design his entry.
The prize is $20,000, and he'll put even more money into promoting it to give it the best shot in the main competition.
He's calling on designs that best acknowledge the spirit of the Treaty of Waitangi, saying he's concerned a lot of entries don't represent Maori fairly enough.
