OSM Kenya/State of the Map 2024/Call for Logos
Overview
Following the announcement by the OSMF State of the Map Working Group, we are excited to inform you that we are currently searching for logo designs for the State of the Map 2024 conference.
A logo is an essential part of any event as it represents the spirit and mood of that year's global conference. Therefore, we need the assistance of creative minds within the community to design a new logo for SotM 2024.
Additionally, the logo is a crucial element in defining the design and color scheme of the official website, as well as the style of the conference content on all OSM platforms. It will also be used in the production of SotM merchandise and swag, such as t-shirts and stickers, creating unforgettable memories from the conference.
We welcome all participants, ranging from experienced professionals to graphic design enthusiasts and newbies, to share their innovative ideas with the community.

The following are guidelines for the logo design contest:
- The artwork must be original.
- The logo should reference both OpenStreetMap (OSM) and State of the Map (SotM).

- The license should be open: CC BY SA or related.
