Dubai - With more than 15,000 registrants for the Expo 2020 Dubai Logo Competition to date, Reem Ibrahim Al Hashemi, Minister of State and Director-General of the Bureau Dubai Expo 2020, has called on people across the UAE to contribute to the shaping of the symbol for the iconic event.
“We are on a journey to create a transformative Expo. Developing a logo that reflects and represents who we are and is symbolic of the inclusive event we are creating is a meaningful milestone. We invite the UAE community to join us on this journey by actively participating and sharing their talent, passion and inspiration,” said Al Hashemi, who is also the Board Representative of the Dubai Expo 2020 Higher Committee.
Joining forces to inspire people in the UAE to discover their artistic talents are some of the country’s most renowned creative minds, who are sharing their own experiences to help guide those looking to make their mark on the Expo 2020 Dubai Logo Competition, which runs until April 30 via www.expo2020dubai.ae/logocompetition.
Emirati Maha Amiri, who has worked with acrylic and watercolour, as well as pencil and charcoal for several years, said when creating art, it should come from the heart.
Amiri, a radio personality who hosts a weekly segment interviewing arts and culture influencers in the UAE, reflects upon the relevance of commonplace images and symbols, emphasising their ability to guide moods, emotions and behaviour consciously and subconsciously.
“The UAE is fast becoming a centre of creative excellence and I’m constantly impressed and inspired by the wealth of talent emerging from the UAE, and the number of individuals making a name for themselves on the world stage.
The Expo 2020 Dubai logo design competition provides a real opportunity for anyone in the UAE to show their creative side, but also for people all over the world to see for themselves the creativity that exists in the UAE. In my view, there is no specific way to present the perfect design or image, but it must be personal, one of a kind, and convey passion, creativity and flair,” said Amiri.
Logo competition entrants are invited to create a design that reflects the main theme of the event: Connecting Minds, Creating the Future.
The Expo 2020 Dubai Logo Competition will give one individual the chance for their creative interpretation of the Expo 2020 Dubai theme to be seen by millions when the UAE plays host to the six-month mega-event opening in October 2020 in Dubai.
Entries for any age group are allowed; minors need consent from their parents
The winner of the chosen design will win Dh100,000.
