Dear colleagues

The IMU is leading the project to declare an International Day of 
Mathematics (IDM). From your responses
to the AO CL 5/2017
https://www.mathunion.org/fileadmin/IMU/Publications/CircularLetters/2015-2016/IMU_AO_CL_5_2017.pdf
the IMU decided to move forward to create an annual International Day of 
Mathematics and to select
March 14 ("Pi Day") as the date for the IDM.

UNESCO is the authority to proclaim the International Day of 
Mathematics. If UNESCO decides to proclaim
the IDM, the first celebration of IDM is expected to be on March 14 in 2020.

For more information see also the IMU webpage 
https://www.mathunion.org/outreach/IDM.

Now the IMU is inviting bids for the logo of the IDM.

Ideally, the logo must be available in different formats for use on the 
web and for printing on posters.
An editable version of the logo will be needed for use in high quality 
work. If this is not feasible, the
IMU is entitled to engage a professional graphic designer for this purpose.

Logos together with artist information (full name, date of birth, career 
or profession, personal
webpage if any, and email) must be sent by email at idm at mathunion.org 
<mailto:idm at mathunion.org>. Only electronic bids are eligible.
An email confirming receipt of submissions will be sent. In case of not 
receiving a confirmation within
48 hours, please resend the work.

Submissions may include more than one logo.  Submissions must include 
the artist’s statement that, if the
logo is chosen by the IMU, the creator of the logo will assign all 
rights to the logo to the IMU. This includes
the permission to make slight modifications. The IMU assures that 
the name of the winning artist will appear
on the IDM website.  The competition does not give a monetary award and 
is open to all individuals
worldwide.  For submissions not chosen, the rights are retained by the 
artist.

*The deadline for submission of logos to the competition is 31 December 
2018.* IMU’s decision
is expected by April 2019.

The jury for selection of the IDM logo will be nominated by the 
Executive Committee of the IMU and
its decision will be final.

In a separate call, see AO CL 20/2018, organizations are invited to make 
bids to host the IDM website.
Please feel free to circulate this call among potential bidders.

Regards
Helge Holden
