Logo contest – 50th anniversary of Polish-Australian diplomatic relations

The purpose of the contest is to select a logo, which will symbolise a friendly and partner-like relationship between the two countries, based on shared values, mutual respect and understanding. The logo should refer to the symbols/colours of the flags of Poland and Australia and must include the number 50. References to a broader context of long Polish-Australian people-to-people connections will also be welcome.  

The contest is open to Polish and/or Australian citizens. The applications should be submitted by 31 October 2021 to the email address [email protected]. 

The winner prize includes a monetary prize of AUD $5,000.00 and a non-cash prize valued at AUD $500.00.
