Open to current SIAH students · Individual entries · One original concept each
A logo with purpose

Prepare your submission
- A full-colour logo showing the complete institute name.
- A one-colour version for technical testing.
- A 75–150-word explanation of the idea and its meaning.
- Colour references and font names.
- An editable source file, if available, or a high-quality scan of hand-drawn work.
Design rules and judging criteria
Original work only. No copied logos, clip art, stock logo templates or wholly AI-generated logos. Declare any AI used for brainstorming or to enhance your own original graphic.
Use no more than three main colours. Red and pink are not allowed. Keep black minimal in the main design; any blue must be light blue and minimal. A black one-colour test is permitted.
Keep the full name readable. NASII may be a secondary short form. Use legally usable fonts, preferably clean sans serif lettering, and a simple two-dimensional design. Avoid photographic backgrounds, mock-up effects, shadows and excessive detail.
The design must work at small sizes and on light and dark backgrounds. Do not reproduce the Seychelles flag, coat of arms or other protected emblems.
Scoring: institutional relevance 25; originality 20; simplicity and memorability 15; visual quality 15; versatility 15; concept explanation 10.
The committee may request corrections or refinement, disqualify ineligible work, or decide not to adopt an entry if none meets the required standard. Late or unregistered entries may not be judged.
Named entries, privacy and use of designs
The committee will review your design together with your full name, programme, class and year. Your email address and phone number are used for registration, access and competition communications. Contact details are available only to authorised staff and the committee. Entries are not displayed in a public submission gallery.
SIAH may display entries for judging, exhibition and competition publicity under the competition guidelines. Non-winning designs remain the property of their creators. If selected, the entrant will be asked to sign a separate final rights agreement before official adoption.
Do not include your NIN, date of birth, home address or other unnecessary personal information. Contact info@siah.edu.sc for corrections or privacy questions.
Updated deadlines: 16 October for registration and 31 October 2026 for designs, both at 23:59 Seychelles time. These replace the September dates on earlier material.
