Submission
Guidelines
The purpose of the
contest is to design a logo for the Golden Jubilee Celebrations Celebrating 50
year of Zambia’s Independence. The logo will be used online, in print, on
merchandise and will be placed on billboards, T-shirts, books, key holders, DVDs,
commercial products, stickers for cars etc. Flexibility is a key requirement,
including the need to resize easily and to look good in black and white as well
as color, as well the ability for the logo to be animated. The final version of
the logo will need to be suitable for high quality printing. While the logo
needs to look good at relatively small sizes, it will not need to be shrunk for
use on small items.
Because of the
requirement to register the logo as an official logo, Entrants should take care
to ensure that their Entries are not in any way similar to existing logos or
other copyrighted images.
This
image should not be photographic. The logo may contain the word Zambia, or
symbolic representation of the country Zambia, but must also contain the number
or word “50”. The logo must not contain any text apart from the words suggested
here. Due to the requirements for high quality printing and re-sizing Entries
must be submitted in very clear distinguishable colors.
The limit on attachment
sizes for our email is 5Mb. If your submission exceeds this size, even
after compression, please send the images individually and note clearly in your
emails that you are doing so.

Subject to the legal
requirements outlined above, the winning design will be announced through the
public media. Every effort will be made

receive:
1. A cash prize of K5,000. (Five Thousand Kwacha )
