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.

This video is titled Bandera de Puerto Bermejo and it’s a 2021 episode of a cooking programme, with studio guests chatting with the host/chef while the oven bakes the day's recipe. This time we had vanilla sponge cake and the two guests are Antonio Javier Olmedo, designer of the flag ("creador de nuestra bandera"), and a local councilwoman (didn’t catch her name), in whose mandate the flag contest was launched. It is confirmed that this flag won the contest, from among propsals of several entrants (including the councilwoman). It is also mentioned that the flag creator is a fisherman and farmer – person of low social status ("una persona humilde"): The flag was confirmedly officialized ("aprovada por ordenanza municipal") – see at 20'23" a close-up of an award that references the adoption of the flag on 2005.10.09 (ordenanza municipal № 950/05); this was two years before the provincial flag was approved, making Puerto Bermejo a pioneer on local vexillology, emphasizes the councilwoman at 24′30″.

At the end of the video (26'27" and 26'31") there are two still photos, one showing the flag creator with other people on stage at some public event, another indoors, in both holding out what seems to be a squarish white cloth with a large depiction of the emblem, slightly different, with dark blue, orange sun, and green ground over the fence; this cloth has hoist attaching lines/ribbons – so it is a flag of sorts. There is no other mention or explanation about this flag, other than the unclear mention that the triband flag with lettering shown in studio is "the original one". In the light of the 1:2 white flag with lettering shown in the 2023 Instagram post (reported by Olivier), there seems to have existed these three different flags sharing the same emblem.

The shown flag is a derivative of the national flag, a horizontal triband of pale blue and white with a pseudo-heraldic emblem centered on the middle stripe and large bold compact black sans serif capitals reading "Puerto Bermejo" on the upper stripe and "Provincia del Chaco" over "Republica Argentina" on the lower stripe (fortunately there was no room left to add also "esto es una bandera").

The emblem is presented earlier in the video (04′57″ to 05′32″), shown in a close up view of the flag in folded state, bundled in such a way that everything else is safely tucked away; shown in more detail, with interpretation, from 11′30″ to 13′06″. Listening to this description, one learns the following: The triband ribbon (attached on either side from two slanted flag staffs as in many heraldic trophies flanking the shield but here unexpectedly connecting in a "U" shape as a single piece of cloth that encloses the sides and bottom of the ersatz shield – "el
dibujo central") stands for Argentina. The rising sun also represents Argentina (this time termed la patria). The open hands, surrealistically emerging from the white stripe of the conjoined flag pair cloth, stand for hospitality and also invoking "la protección de Dios"… The wavy blue area is a representation of the windswept waters of the River Paraguay; there are two barely visible river banks on either side, representing Paraguay, the country: Puerto is located on a riverine international border line where the thalweg bends sharply. The crossed oar and hoe stand for the local communities of fishermen and agriculturists, the latter also symbolized by the maize ear; the wire fence stands for cattle farmers. The conspicuous lettering is not even mentioned in the whole interview, likely presumed as an unavoidable aside, and indeed the emblem is implicitly seen as the only seat of specific semantics, with the flag itself being nothing more than background for it. The overall ratio seems to be 3:5.

Puerto Eva Peron

Municipality of Puerto Eva Peron in the Department of Bermejo, Chaco, has its own flag, which consists of a white field with the municipal logo on the middle and lettering "PUERTO EVA PERON / CHACO" in two rows below:

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