iBlog: The 15th Philippine Blogging Summit #iblog15

Congratulations to Janina Refran for winning our iBlog logo design contest. Please expect the organizers to get in touch with you for proper prize claim.

Our sincerest thanks to everyone who joined!

For our 6th year, we thought of giving our iBlog logo a new look. Instead of hiring a designer for this purpose, we would like to take this opportunity to invite the blogging community to submit their own iBlog logo design. The winning entry shall become the official logo of iBlog, to be used in iBlog’s website, in official communications whether online or in print, on iBlog items and merchandise, and for other purposes as the organizers of iBlog may deem fit.

Mechanics:

• The contest is open to Filipino individuals, 18 years and old above.
• The logo design may or may not have the words “iBlog.” Ideally, it should represent what iBlog is about, which is developing and promoting the growth of blogging in the Philippines.
• The entries must be submitted in 2 files, with the first file as a scalable vector graphic in EPS format and the second file as a JPG.
• Deadline for submission of entries is 5:00 p.m. of February 15, 2010. All entries should be sent via CD or DVD along with the entry form and mailed or delivered to:
  Institute of Government and Law Reform
  c/o Atty. Michelle San Buenaventura-Dy

  Rm. 106, 1st Floor Bocobo Hall, Diliman, Quezon City
