PANO - “ASEAN - Heart of a dynamic Asia” is the name of a contest to design logos marking the ASEAN bloc’s 40th founding anniversary. The contest was made public at a press conference by the Culture and Information Ministry of Vietnam on Tuesday (Nov. 14).

Entries must centre around the contest’s name, be simple, but still of artistic value, and be easily printed on all kinds of materials. To be eligible, logos must have the words “ASEAN 40”.

Contestants should enclose with their entries a less than 100 word description of their creative inspiration.

Entries are to be sent to the Photography and Fine Arts Department at 38 Cao Ba Quat street, Ba Dinh district, Hanoi by the end of this November.

The first prize winner will compete in the final logo contest among ASEAN member countries.

The ASEAN 40 logo contest will be introduced widely among ASEAN members, businesses and trade blocs with the approval of the ASEAN National Committee.
