Canada Summer Games Design Contest
Alberta Sport Connection (ASC) is looking for a design that will incorporate 4-6 pins that can be put together to make a larger shape (puzzle pin), as well as stand-alone ideas. If there is something that signifies Alberta or the Canada Summer Games it can be included that into the shape of the pins. Each pin should indicate Team Alberta in some way, with the words Alberta or the ‘A’ part of our logo. The 2017 Canada Summer Games will be the 50th Anniversary of the Canada Games, and that could be incorporated as well.
Here is the Team Alberta Logo in a few variations and the winning designs for the 2016 Arctic Games, so you have ASC is looking for.
If an athlete’s design is selected, they will be sent a framed set of the finished pins (and other great perks)!
All design suggestions should be submitted to steven.patrick@albertasport.ca
by July 15th.
