EU Logo competition

On 25 March 2007 the European Union will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Rome - the origin of the European integration process. This is the reason for a logo competition launched jointly by the Commission, the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions.

Art and design students and design professionals who have graduated in 2006 are invited to design a birthday logo that will be the official symbol for the 50th anniversary of the Treaty of Rome next year. The Commission and all other European Institutions will use the winning logo for all events during 2007 related to the 50th anniversary. The Member States, regional and local authorities will be invited to use the logo for their particular events.

The selection of the winning logo will be made by a jury consisting of representatives from the five institutions and co-chaired by Commission Vice-President Margot Wallström and Vice-President of the European Parliament Alejo Vidal-Quadras.

So are design professionals who have graduated from university or college in 2006. They are invited to create a logo and also, if they so wish, a slogan about European integration.

The logo must refer to the 50th anniversary of the Treaty of Rome and reflect the EU's achievements - such as peace and prosperity - and its future ie what kind of EU they want for future generations.

The closing date for the competition is 30 September 2006.
