Hi,

in 2020, we held the first ever online State of the Map conference!
Similarly this year, State of the Map 2021 (SotM 2021) will be a virtual
conference in July (exact dates will be officially announced in February).

The face of every event is of course its logo, a recognizable element
that will graphically represent the spirit and the mood of this year's
global conference. For this reason, we need the help of the most
creative minds in the community to create a new logo!
The logo is a crucial element for defining the design and the colors of
the official website as well as the communication style of contents on
all OSM platforms. It will also be used for the beloved SotM merchandise
and swags (t-shirts, stickers, etc.), making the best memories from the
conference unforgettable.

>From experienced professionals to graphic design newbies and
enthusiasts: everyone can participate and share an original idea with
the community!

## Contest guidelines

The logo design should:

* be an original artwork;
* refer to OpenStreetMap (OSM), and virtual State of the Map (SotM);
* focus on the sense of global community and its core values;
* be easily recognizable;
* open licence: CC BY SA or related
* be submitted by Sunday, 14 February 2021  23:59 UTC


## How to enter

Please submit your logo proposal via email to sotm at openstreetmap.org,
attaching the design file in a PNG format and scalable file format (like
PDF or SVG).

## Winner selection

The submitted artworks will be reviewed by the SotM working group, and
the winning logo will be decided via vote. The official logo will then
be announced after the SotM meeting in mid February.

p.s. We are still looking for a team member, especially someone with
design interest and ability and open source affinity for art work like
logo, prospectus/PDF, t-shirt, sticker, ..
