Journey with an ex-seminarian as he fulfill his dreams and search his place in the greater scheme of things on the wings of his dreamWorld Youth Day 2011 Madrid launches the official logo contest
It has been a tradition in World Youth Day that a logo should represent the host city through its various items, promotions and press releases. Madrid has open its doors for its youth to come up with a unique and attractive logo that will best represent and identify World Youth Day 2011. The Archdiocese of Madrid has promised a hefty reward of €15,000 ($20,115) for the Grand winner. The said logo will be used on the forth coming World Youth Day 2011 that will be held on August 16-21, 2011. The chosen logo will be featured on all official WYD promotions and be used on the official website including various items in the pilgrim packet including a backpack, hat and fan.
The contest is open to all graphic designers who operate in Spain. Documentation must be submitted by May 17 in order to enter the competition.
A statement from the archdiocese noted, “World Youth Day is an event of a global and open nature — of Christian identity — promoted directly by the Pope, which invites young people from around the world, both Catholics as well as non-Catholics interested in knowing the message of Jesus Christ and having an experience of the Catholic Church.”
BTW, the contest is restricted to non-Spanish citizen. So if you do not live in Spain or have no official citizenship, you cannot join the contest, as what I have mentioned on my previous post about submitting an official song for the World Youth Day.

About the Catholic Blogger
Romuald Matthieson, a.k.a. "bluepanjeet" has been writing in cyber space since 2005. In 2006, he jump-started his Catholic blogging a few years even before the Catholic Church realized the importance of utilizing social networks in spreading the Gospel. In 2007, in response to a realization of the growing need for Catholic Bloggers online, he officially launched his own self-hosted Catholic blog and called it "On The Wings Of My Dream" or simply OTWOMD which is a metaphor of his favorite psalm in the Bible, Psalm 63. Since then he has been blogging, and sometimes podcasting, for the Catholic Church using his enthusiasm in the New Media, his inclination on visual and digital arts, his passion for the written word and his love for the Catholic Church.

World youth day is the oneness and connections/bond of christians all over the world, why does the logo contest is open only to the citizens of spain?.
opening it to other countries can give more opportunity to choose the best and can give others a chance to share their ideas.
@NICE – That’s the tradition since day 1 of world youth day. Plus, it’s the host country that will present the official logo. So who could better do a logo than their own citizens because they not only represent the host country but also they know better about their own culture and they can transcribe their identity in the logo. I suggest you first read the history of wyd, its meaning and its significance
Would you be proud and happy if the logo of the 1995 WYD in Manila came from the Americans or Europeans? I DOUBT IT!
