Easter 2016 Logo Competition  - Win $50 – Two Prizes

 

Blue Sparks and Orienteering ACT has announced a Logo Competition for Kids (under 18) , and Big Kids  (18 and over)

Design a colour logo and submit it by October 24th

 

 

Orienteering ACT will be holding the National Easter Carnival here in Canberra in 2016. We aim to attract 1,000 entries from all over Australia and the world. Many local Canberra families will attend too as there will be some great events. Planning is in early stages but possibilities include – an urban university sprint, classic spur gully bush, complex granite terrain and detailed “European style” pine forest.  This variety all within a short distance of Canberra’s airport will be a great drawcard. All we need now is your logo.

 

Submit your logo in colour  in digital form easily attached to an email (a low resolution photo of your artwork will do) by 11 pm October 24th to the OACT Office orienteering.act@webone.com.au . For enquires phone the office 61623422. See contacts page for office hours.  

Artwork and copyright remains the property of OACT.

OACT can choose to use or not use the winners ideas or the concepts of any other entries.  

Any further details and conditions will be released here. 

Preferred digital forms will be listed here but at this stage  any digital form easily attached to an email (a low resolution photo of your artwork will do)

The $50 prize will also be redeemable as entry fees for OACT events.
