The logo competition

Want to create GothCon's logo?

UPDATE: Next year, GothCon will be 50 years old and there has been a proposal in the association to have a special logo for the anniversary. We have therefore recently decided to do something different for GothCon 2027, but we have not decided exactly what yet. Contributions to this year's competition will therefore be saved for the 51st convention in 2028. It is still great to submit contributions!

Every year we have a new logo for our convention. Anyone who wants to can submit their contribution (or several) to the competition.

The entry chosen as the winner will be used on t-shirts, pins, mugs and appear in GothCon's marketing such as on social media, banners, etc.

The proposals submitted will be evaluated and judged by a jury during the convention. The jury will vote for a winner who will be presented on Saturday at the convention.

NOTE: The deadline for submissions is the Friday during the convention.

Don't hesitate! Submit your proposal today to info@gothcon.se! Or get in touch with any questions about the competition.
