Cardiff Half Marathon organisers launch design competition
Release Date: 14/01/2010
Illustrators and designers throughout the UK are being invited to design a new icon for the logo of the Cardiff Half Marathon.
An open competition has been launched to create an iconic image that embodies the dynamic identity of the event, which is as important to Cardiff as the London Marathon is to London.
The icon will be used in materials to promote the race nationally and internationally, including banners, posters, websites, brochures and adverts.
Last year’s Cardiff Half Marathon saw 11,000 people register from all over the globe with participants raising money for over 150 different charities and good causes.
Steven Fedor, Event Organiser, said:
“The winning entry will be used on all materials and the designer will be profiled on the website for one year. It’s a fantastic way for aspiring designers to get noticed.
“We are looking for an exciting, original and modern design to reflect the Welsh origins of the Half Marathon and Cardiff location, marking the event’s unique standing in the runners’ calendar.
"Entries should have broad appeal to both professional elite runners and those attempting a half marathon for the first time. The race also has championship status and will be promoted outside of Wales and the UK to attract international runners.”
Entries in PDF format with a file size no bigger than 2MB are preferred, although jpegs, eps files and hard copy drawings will also be accepted.
