AU Theme of the Year 2027 Official Logo and Visual Identity Competition for Young African Creatives
About this opportunity
Competition for young African creatives to design the AU Theme of the Year 2027 official logo and visual identity, with a USD 8,000 prize.
AU Theme of the Year 2027 Official Logo Competition invites young African creatives aged 18–24 to design the official logo and visual identity for the African Union’s 2027 theme, celebrating 25 years of integration through SAATM (Single African Air Transport Market) and new technologies. This is a contest for individuals, not teams, with no formal qualifications required—just original, human-created designs that reflect African unity, innovation, and digital transformation while avoiding national symbols or AI-generated work. Winners receive cash prizes (USD 5,000–1,000) plus AU recognition, summit participation, and training opportunities.
