The European Commission recently launched a competition for young graphic designers to create its Europe Day poster for the year 2010. A panel of European experts in the field of design and communication chose ten finalists among more than 1 700 entries. The ten shortlisted proposals are now open to a public vote on the website of the competition.

"This competition has provided the Commission with a great opportunity to draw attention to and show how Europe is seen by young people", said Margot Wallström, Vice-President of the European Commission in charge of Communication. The winning design will become the official poster for the Europe Day on 9 March 2010 and beyond and distributed in all 27 EU countries. The overall winner and the two runners-up will receive an all-expenses-paid trip to Brussels to attend an award ceremony in May 2010 and a cash prize of €2 000 and €1 000 respectively. Reflecting the theme chosen for the Europe Day poster competition, ‛I ♥ Europe’, the contributions of the ten finalists may also be used in exhibitions organised by the European Commission or EU representatives in the member states as well as in promotional material.
