The deadline was extended for the new logo design competition for the ACM Special Interest Group for Genetic and Evolutionary Computation (SIGEVO) (the former International Society for Genetic and Evolutionary Computation). The new deadline is June 23. The official announcement follows:

The new ACM SIGEVO needs a logo! Send submissions to
sigevo_logo@yahoo.com

The Special Interest Group for Genetic and Evolutionary Computation
(SIGEVO) was formed in January, 2005, and is looking for a logo. We
are now extending the deadline for submitting entries in the SIGEVO
logo contest. The prize will be free registration for GECCO-2005
(or refund of 2005 registration) or, at winner’s choice, free
registration for GECCO-2006. The awarding of the prize will depend
on receipt of qualifying entries from at least five persons.
Each entrant may submit one or several logo entries.

To be considered, the logo must be received by June 23, 2005.

Please note:

1) Submissions may not contain any material copyrighted or trademarked
by anyone other than ACM or ISGEC.

2) The winner must agree that the winning logo becomes the property of
ACM, which will have the right to use, copyright and/or trademark the
logo.

Judging will be during GECCO-2005 by a panel appointed by the SIGEVO
chair, and the final decision will be announced on June 29 during the
SIGEVO business meeting. The logo need not replace the “gecko” logo
associated with the GECCO conference, but may be used for any of
SIGEVO’s activities, including GECCO.  Please send entries to
sigevo_logo@yahoo.com, as JPEG files.  (Please consider that, if the
logo is selected, we’ll need it in a vector format).

I hope you’ll participate!

Chair, SIGEVO
