Administrators
of the Yungang Grottoes, located 16 kilometers west of Datong, north China’s
Shanxi Province, recently launched a global competition to design a new
official logo, according to the Yungang Grottoes Research Institute,
Chinanews.com reported on March 12.
With
more than 51,000 Buddhist statues of various sizes in 45 existing grottoes, the
Yungang Grottoes is one of China’s largest grotto groups. It was included into
the World Cultural Heritage list by the United Nations Educational, Scientific
and Cultural Organization in 2001.
“In
order to better carry forward the culture and art in Yungang Grottoes, and to
further raise the area's profile and influence, the tourism management
committee of Yungang Grottoes and Yungang Grottoes Research Institute decided
to ask the global community for official logo ideas for the Yungang Grottoes,”
read the announcement.
“Talented
designers and people with creativity, copywriting experience, and graphic
design experience are all welcome to take part in the contest,” it continued.
The
competition requires that the logo should convey the distinctive features of
the Yungang Grottoes creatively. The winning design will be used for a variety
of occasions in a number of locations.
The
worldwide contest will start on March 15 and end on Dec. 31, according to the
announcement, noting that the competition will consist of three phases: the
preliminary screening, selection, and final evaluation.
Ten
pieces will be selected for the final evaluation, from which one will become
the new logo, while the other nine will be recognized as outstanding works.
The
first prize winner will also receive a monetary reward of 10,000 yuan (about
$1,489.27) and a certificate of achievement, and the creators of the remaining
nine outstanding works will each receive 2,000 yuan and a certificate of
achievement.
