Karting Industry Council (KIC) and the North American karting media will conduct a nationwide contest to select a logo design celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Karting: 1956-2006.
Members of the US/Canadian karting media (both print and electronic) will be asked to make the final selection of the designs submitted based on originality, theme design, and appropriateness.
The contest will be open to everyone; amateur and professional artists alike.
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for someone to design a logo for the 50th Anniversary of Karting," said Darrell Sitarz, chairman of the 50th Anniversary Celebration Committee. "I hope there are hundreds of logos to choose from as we're inviting anyone and everyone to participate in this exciting contest."
Deadline for logo design applicants is September 1, 2005. The winner will be announced on or before October 1, 2005.
The winner will be awarded a $500 US Savings Bond and will be afforded special recognition by KIC at Kart Expo International in February 2006, by the karting media and will be recipient of an apparel package bearing the 50th Anniversary logo.
Color logo designs should be e-mailed to karting@msn.com in JPG format with the artist’s contact information including name, address, phone, etc.
Official rules will be posted on the KIC website at www.kartindustrycouncil.com or see ads in various karting magazines and electronic karting media later this summer. All logo designs submitted will become the property of KIC.
The logo will be used by KIC to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the sport in print, and on apparel, etc. with all proceeds going to the non-profit trade association.
