The New Zealand Embassy has announced the launch of a logo design competition to celebrate 40 years of diplomatic relations between the country and Vietnam.

The competition, called “New Zealand – Open to the New,” welcomes all creative Vietnamese citizens.

The winning logos should convey the message of “New Zealand – Open to the New,” and feature innovative, modern design styles with distinct shapes and colors.

Participants can submit up to five logos, which should be formatted as a jpeg file and be 3MB to 5MB in size. Contestants can send their design to NZVN40@mft.net.nz by midnight on October 15.

The winners will be announced in November. First prize, which will be picked by the New Zealand Ambassador, is worth VND20 million (US$941).

Second prize, worth VND6 million, will be chosen by fans of the embassy’s Facebook page.

The winners will also receive a free take-home container of New Zealand Natural Ice Cream.

The competition is part of the “New Zealand – Open to the New” event series to commemorate the two countries’ 40th anniversary of diplomatic relations.

New Zealand first established its diplomatic relations with Vietnam in June, 1975.
