The Spanish Economics Olympiad Association (AOEE) has launched a competition to design its official permanent logo, which will serve as the Association’s institutional image alongside its official name. This competition is open to AOEE members, including the Faculty of Economics, Business and Tourism (FEET), and each member may submit up to 2 proposals.
To participate in this national competition, FEET, as a member, is launching a preliminary process to select the two proposals that the Faculty will submit to the final AOEE selection stage.
This process is open to anyone interested.
The Faculty will submit the two chosen proposals to the final AOEE selection stage.
According to the rules of the national competition, the logo selection will take place in two phases:
In the first phase, AOEE members will vote, by preference ranking, for three logos from among all submissions.
In the second phase, to be held during the Association’s Assembly on 19 June 2026, voting will take place exclusively among the three most-voted proposals from the first phase. The final selected logo will be used indefinitely across all physical and digital media associated with AOEE activities.
