The flag that will represent La Leonesa:
Yesterday they opened the envelopes containing the projects of the flag for La Leonesa.
The jury was made up of Daniel Svensson of ceremonial and protocol of the province, Professor Vanina Busccafusca and Professor Marcos Antonio Ferrau. After debating each project, they chose Víctor Álvarez's.
The winner of the contest, Víctor Álvarez, wrote on his Facebook wall the meaning of the flag.
WINNER OF THE CONTEST "La Leonesa, mi Bandera"
This proposal presents in its design component elements whose meanings are the following:
1.- Two main fields in light blue and white and a smaller green stripe.
The light blue color represents the sky that shelters us and in accordance with the color of the National Flag, respectively.
The color white, purity and peace. In them there is a green stripe that represents our fields and their fertility, at the same time that it links us to our Provincial Flag, which has the same color on one of its cloths.
2.- A circle in the center, whose halves are distributed precisely in the division of the light blue and white cloths and rests its base on the green stripe, that is, on the Chaco soil.
3.- Within the central circle are located:
a.- A rising sun with straight rays, which at the same time, represent the lion's mane and whose meaning suggests the idea of sprouting every day, with a new opportunity to face life in the light and heat of it.
b.- The frontal face of a lion, signifying the name of the Spanish Province from which the feminine name attributed to Ángela Fernández originates, one of the first settlers of our town and therefore, in which all the locals are represented.
c.- In the lion's mind (in the mind of all of us), progress. An ascending construction, in steps of bases and strong, solid and united columns, as La Leonesa has proven to be since its origins to achieve its objectives.
d.-In the lower semicircle, its field and one of its main productions are shown, represented by two rice pacúes, who frame the great local festival, and distinguishing La Leonesa as one of the most important towns in this aspect.
e.-The grains of rice in metaphor of laurels. A product that identifies La Leonesa as the main producer of this cereal - which is exported to the world - and surrounds it as a symbol of abundance and prosperity.

I didn't find any proof that there is a flag for the Municipality of Puerto Bermejo in the Department of Bermejo, Chaco. However, a video caught my attention as it shows a flag for this municipality. Unfortunately, I didn't understand if that was a contest winner that never come to real life use, or just a proposal that was forgotten, or maybe a former municipal flag?

The plaque says the flag was created by Antonio Javier Olmedo, with the flag being created through a contest and through Ordinance No. 950/05 in 2005; likely for the commemoration of its 135th anniversary.
The central device appears to be its own creation, not the actual coat of arms: it has two Argentina flags combined together to envelope the elements, which are: two hands stretched out for the hospitality of the people, and above being a paddle for fishermen and an axe for the people of the country crossed together. In their center is a cob of corn for agriculture. Cutting this off from the coast, a barbed wire fence representing ranchers is seen. The Paraguay River is seen above this, which has the Argentine sun above it. Of course, the device is placed in the center of a horizontal triband of the Argentine colors; PUERTO BERMEJO is read in a thick black font above, while the lower one reads PROVINCIA DEL CHACO and REPUBLICA ARGENTINA in the same type of font.

The photo is from 2013 so it is possible that the flag is changed as the logo is little updated.
