Torch Relay seeks creative input
Sports fans, Olympic enthusiasts or just anyone with riveting ideas can contribute to PyeongChang 2018’s Torch Relay contest titled “OPEN! Mission Relay”.
The global contest launched by POCOG seeks to incorporate personal stories and unique ideas into the PyeongChang 2018 Torch Relay.
PyeongChang’s Torch Relay team seeks contributions in four categories – potential torch relay routes, torchbearers, mode of transportation and creative content (videos, images, photos, music, etc.).
Two winners, one from the general public and one from a student group, will join the PyeongChang 2018 delegation at the Flame Lighting Ceremony in Greece, and the second place winners will be honoured as torchbearers.
Submissions can be sent to POCOG until the deadline of 12th August 2016.
