ARTICLE 1. - The General Manager of the National Mining Corporation hereby launches an artistic competition for the design of the official Logo of SONAMINES hereinafter referred to as "the competition".
ARTICLE 2. - The competition shall be open from May 21 to June 04, 2021 to Cameroonian Illustrators, Designers, Computer Graphics and other amateur professionals in the field of visual and graphic arts.
ARTICLE 3. - The Logo proposal shall be made individually or collectively.
- In the event of a collective proposal, a representative shall be appointed by a duly signed letter from all stakeholders.
ARTICLE 4. - Interested candidates shall submit only one (01) proposal per applicant.
ARTICLE 5. - The logo proposal, with a duly completed registration form, must be submitted in four (4) copies in colour on white A4 paper and in a digital version of Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop (USB key, CD or any other electronic medium). It shall have the following characteristics:
- Originality: SONAMINES’ logo should not be a variation of another logo;
- Legibility: the logo should be legible, i.e. easily recognizable and memorable;
- Versatility: the logo must be adaptable on different media (a billboard, a business card, an icon on smartphone). It must be recognizable even in a single colour. The logo must be sufficiently legible to be identifiable on smaller sizes or resolutions. For example, when using a favicon or a profile picture on social networks;
- Specificity and simplicity: these aspects should make it easier to anchor the logo in the memory of the target audience and to identify it more easily.
