The contest for the mascot of the European Games has started
A very important step for the Organizing Committee of the Krakow-Małopolska 2023 European Games, in which young sports fans will help. On Monday in Krakow, a contest for the mascot of the Games was announced. There are attractive prizes to be won related to next year's event.
Choosing a mascot that will be a symbol of a large event is a very important decision. Symbolism in sports is crucial. The mascot - if it hits the fans' tastes - makes the memory of the event live for many months after the end of the sports competition.
The Games connect generations
Now it's time for Kraków and Małopolska. On Monday, a contest was announced for the design of the mascot of the European Games Krakow-Małopolska 2023. Until the end of September, the organizers are waiting for the works of children and young people aged 5-15. The design or drawing of the mascot should be related to the idea of the European Games Krakow-Małopolska 2023 or Olympism, but also have elements associated with the city and the host region.

Details of the contest were announced on Monday at the headquarters of the Organizing Committee.
Patrycja Czak, the director of the promotion and marketing department of the Organizing Committee, emphasizes that the mascot is one of the most important image and communication elements of next year's event. - By putting its concept into the hands of our youngest fans, we want to show that the European Games Krakow-Małopolska 2023 is an event that connects not only fans, but all generations. We keep our fingers crossed for the participants of the contest and we are already looking forward to the project that best reflects the specificity of the event and our colorful region - he says.
