The new EU organic logo will be mandatory for all pre-packaged organic products that originate in the 27 Member States and meet the labelling standards. Additionally, all non pre-packaged organic products that originate from the EU or that are imported from third countries can use the EU logo on a voluntary basis. All EU citizens, registered at an institution of higher education for art or design based in the EU, are encouraged to enter this unique, international design competition. Three winners will be selected, and the first prize winner will be awarded a cash prize of 6,000 euro. The first and second runners-up will receive 3,500 euro and 2,500 euro respectively. Entries can be uploaded onto the special competition website www.ec.europa.eu/ The EU Organic Logo Competition will be judged by a jury of experts from the field of organic farming and production, and internationally renowned design professionals.
