The association is registered as a non-governmental association based in Podgorica.

 

 

The contest is being organized by the OSCE Mission to Montenegro in cooperation with the Media Association of South-Eastern Europe (MASEE).

The concept of the contest is to create an original graphic solution for the logo, applicable in large and small formats, for printed and electronic media, without restriction in motives, by using acronyms of full names of the association in the above mentioned languages (MAJE, AMEJL, AMJE, MASEE).

The aim of the contest is to engage pupils and students of schools and faculties for design as well as interested young graphic designers to create logo solutions that will be used by the Media Association of South-Eastern Europe.

The opportunity to participate in the competition is given to all adult students of the final grades of secondary schools and students of faculties, as well as young people specialized in graphic design, who, no later than March 1, 2018 should submit:

– a short biography;

– logo solution in electronic form;

– a statement on the authenticity of the graphic logo solution.

The duration of the competition is from February 7, 2018 to March 1, 2018.

The expert jury for evaluation and selection of works will be composed of the representatives of the OSCE Mission to Montenegro and the Media Association of South-East Europe.

Criteria for selecting the most successful work are originality and innovation. We encourage participants to present their own solutions and ideas that will symbolize the media, goals and principles of the association.
