Beijing: The emblem for the 2022 Winter Olympic Games will be unveiled in the second half of next year, organizers said here on Monday.

Two months after Beijing launched a worldwide campaign to seek designs for the Games logo, Chang Yu, head of the publicity department of the Beijing Organizing Committee for the 2022 Winter Games, told a forum that applications can be submitted online from Nov. 20 to Nov. 30.

“An office has been set up for the design competition,” said Chang.

A selection panel will pick 10 candidate designs from the applications, before the Beijing 2022 Organizing Committee choose one winning entry and two as back-up designs, said Chang.

“The emblem will be unveiled in the second half of 2017 after the Beijing 2022 Organizing Committee complete the procedures of intellectual protection of the design,” he said. Xinhua
