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.
