Deadline: 14 November 2010
To promote the EU-China Year of Youth, a creative Logo and Slogan is being looked for. The logo and slogan will be visible on all material related to the year.
Background
President Barroso and Premier Wen Jiabao designated 2011 as the EU-China Year of Youth at the 12th EU-China summit held in Nanjing in 2009. The agreed common objective is to promote and deepen partnership between Europe and China by strengthening people-to-people links and cooperation in various fields.
Eligibility
The call will be open to those between the ages of 18 and 35. Proof of age and identity may be required. Candidates must be nationals of the European Union.
Selection criteria
The logo/slogan must comply with the following criteria:
(a) Spirit of the EU-China Youth Year:
The logo/slogan shall be dynamic and capture the spirit of the EU-China Youth Year: tolerance, solidarity, respect, mutual understanding and friendship between the young people of Europe and China. Therefore, the logo/slogan should clearly reflect both Chinese and European values.
(b) Language(s):
If the logo/slogan will contain text, the entrants will have to be aware that it should be translated into Chinese/English. The logo/slogan should maintain its design characteristics after the translation.
The slogan must be composed of up to 35 characters. It should be simple and catchy and it should be possible to translate it into other EU languages.
(c) Originality:
The logo/slogan shall be original and the own work of the entrants. Work of third parties, like photos or design-elements that have not been created by entrants cannot be used or replicated for the logo/slogan.
(d) Design quality:
Quality will be the main selection criterion. The following parameters will be applied to assess this: functionality (the logo must be transferable into different formats and applications); surprise effect; conciseness (precise and clear arrangement); suitability to both Chinese and European cultures.
(e) Motivation and Background:
The entrants may submit, together with their entry, a short explanatory note containing information on the idea/message behind the logo/slogan.
For more information and to apply, please download the EU - China Slogo Competition call and direct any questions you may have to Sara Ulfhielm at Sara.Ulfhielm@youthforum.org
