About UN Volunteers
The United Nations Volunteers (UNV) programme is a United Nations organization that contributes to peace and development through volunteerism worldwide.
Competition Details
United Nations Volunteers is inviting everyone over 18 to participate in a logo competition for the International Volunteer Year 2026.
The United Nations General Assembly has proclaimed 2026 the International Year of Volunteers for Sustainable Development. This milestone offers an opportunity to celebrate volunteers and their contributions on a global stage.
A logo for the International Volunteer Year 2026 (IVY 2026) should reflect what Member States of the United Nations highlight through the General Assembly Resolution A/RES/78/127 — which recognizes volunteerism as a powerful and cross-cutting means to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals and encourages support for volunteer action.
You can be part of this initiative and create a logo for IVY 2026 to honour volunteers who often work behind the scenes yet deserve to be celebrated.
Entry into the competition is free of charge.
Guidelines
Come up with a logo keeping in mind the following guidelines:
- Be creative and design a logo relevant to the message of IVY 2026.
- Make sure your logo is easy to reproduce and adaptable to different mediums.
- The design should be clear, readable at a distance, and impactful at variable sizes.
A winning logo will be selected by a UNV jury based on the above criteria.
Gratification
The winner will receive a surprise award. Through the public announcement of the winning logo, the winner will further gain international recognition through various UNV platforms and beyond.
