SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
The purpose of the contest is to design a logo for IRPD 2021 and must be appropriate for IRPD 2021 outreach and red panda conservation education.
The logo will mostly be used online but needs to be able to be printed in high resolution.
The logo must be red panda related and contain the following wording "International Red Panda Day 2021". Creativity is welcome, but please include RPN's red (color code #ad1c22) and green (#989e47) in your design. There are no strict guidelines on font but we often use Montserrat and Open Sans so complementary fonts will look best next to the RPN logo.
Please submit high-quality PNGs or JPEGs to irpd@redpandanetwork.org or info@redpandanetwork.org. You can also use the logo submission form below.
JUDGING
A panel of judges — made up of RPN staff, board members and volunteers — will select a contest winner.
PRIZES
- Official IRPD 2021 t-shirt and other merch featuring the selected logo.
- Artist spotlight on social media and featured in RPN eNewsletter.
- A new copy of the Red Panda: Biology and Conservation of the First Panda textbook by RPN board chair, Angela Glatston.
We will share as many of the logo entries we receive as we can on social media but cannot guarantee we will make it to all of them. The contest winner will be featured on all IRPD 2021 materials — including the official t-shirt — and updates on the RPN website, social media channels and at zoo events. The logo selected as the winner will be seen by thousands of supporters and visitors around the world.
After the first-place winner is selected, we will have a public vote on social media to determine a runner-up/second-place winner. Prizes TBD.
