Event Logo creation

1st Annual Jollof Wars – Winnipeg 2027 Event Overview In celebration of Black History Month 2027, we are excited to introduce the 1st Annual Jollof Wars, taking place in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Jollof Wars will be a vibrant cultural celebration bringing together members of Winnipeg’s African and Black communities for a friendly—but highly competitive—battle to answer one of Africa’s longest-running debates: Who makes the best Jollof rice? Representatives from different African countries and cultures will bring their own versions of Jollof to compete for the title of Jollof Wars Champion. While food and competition are at the heart of the event, Jollof Wars is intended to be much more. The event will celebrate African culture, the African diaspora, community, music, food, humour, pride and connection as part of Black History Month. The Design Project We are seeking a graphic designer to develop the official logo and visual identity for Jollof Wars. Because our intention is for Jollof Wars to become an annual Winnipeg event, we want to create a strong and recognizable brand that can continue to be used for many years. The logo should therefore feel bigger than a single 2027 event. We want something that could eventually become instantly recognizable as Jollof Wars. Creative Direction The visual identity should communicate: * African culture and heritage * Friendly rivalry and competition * Celebration and energy * Food and Jollof culture * Unity across different African countries * Black History Month * Canada’s African diaspora
