Saeima of the Republic of Latvia

On Tuesday, 3 May, the jury will hold a meeting to evaluate nearly 100 submissions by children and youths for the logo design contest in honour of the 20^th anniversary of the adoption of the Constitutional Law on the Statehood of the Republic of Latvia.

In this first assessment stage of drawings and sketches, the jury will shortlist five of the best submissions, which will then be displayed for public assessment. The logo designs eligible for the second evaluation stage will be displayed on the Night of Museums on 14 May, when all the visitors of the Saeima will have a chance to vote for their favourite logos. The design with the most votes will be selected as the official logo for the ceremonial events in honour of 21 August.

The official logo will be used in informative materials, on the website devoted to this anniversary and at ceremonial events devoted to this occasion in August 2011.
