According to a Western New-Yorker issue from 1971, Clerk of the Board Shirley Holbrook first publicized a county flag contest by writing letters to principals of the county, asking for cooperation in the contest being open to K–12 only. This was done at the request of the Rules Committee, which also established five rules for the contest as follows:

1. The design must be original.
2. The drawing must be submitted on white paper at least 5" x 7" and not larger than 8 1/2" x 11".
3. Students must reside in Wyoming County.
4. Each school must judge their students' entries and submit the best five to Mr. Martin Oulton, Chairman of the Rules Committee, Wyoming County Board of Supervisors, P.O. Box 232, Warsaw, not later than June 1, 1971.
5. The name and address of each student, as well as the name of his school, must accompany each drawing.

The final selection was made by the county's Board of Supervisors, who rewarded the winner a prize of $25. To be clear, this contest was sponsored by the board itself. The Batavia Daily News issue of August 24, 1971 says that the flag of Wyoming County was then unveiled at the first main event of the Wyoming County Fair in Pike, on the night of August 23, 1971. The device depicts an antlered deer, a leaping fish and a dairy cow. The flag was designed by Daniel Dodge of Gainesville, who attended school at Pioneer Central High School.
