This contest has been going on all summer, but I just found out about it.
You have 4 days to design a logo that will Accompany the Yonkers City Seal (right) and be used on social media sites and in other printed materials.
There's no money or compensation in it, you'll give up your artistic rigthts to your work and allow the City of Yonkers to own it forever, but there's a small amount of glory. [AMENDED NOTE: after reading the terms in the waiver, I've decided not to apply. Too onerous for too little.]
Here's what the deal is:
The Mayor (Mike Spano) is calling on the people of Yonkers for the development of a new City Logo to Accompany the City Seal; a logo that is reflective of the City's rich history, culture and natural beauty.
- The Yonkers Logo Contest will draw from the artistic roots of Yonkers residents ages 12 and up.
- All logo designs should be electronically submitted toYoLoGo@yonkersny.gov
- The contest deadline is Tuesday, September 4th at 5 pm.
- On September 5th, all of the submissions will be available for public viewing on the City of Yonkers Facebook page.
- The public will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite design.
- The top 3 highest vote getters will be selected as finalists and will be presented to the City Council at the October 23rd City Council Meeting during which a winner will be determined.
- The winning logo will be proudly and prominently displayed on the City's Website and on our social media outlets.
As you can imagine, vulgarity, jokes and already used or copyrighted material are not allowed.
Three dimensional, relief, holographic, motion, or other complex multimedia art is also not acceptable as an entry.
Good luck!
