SEOUL, April 4 (silubaba) -- "A Sparkling Future," designed by 27-year-old Brazilian Dante Akira Uwai, has won the Gangwon 2024 Winter Youth Olympic Games (YOG) medal design competition, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced on Tuesday.
Over 3,000 medal designs were submitted, and the winning design will feature on the medals for the Winter YOG, which will be held in Gangwon, South Korea from January 19 to February 1, 2024.
"A Sparkling Future" is a geometric interpretation of the Gangwon 2024 slogan "Grow together, shine forever," according to the IOC website.
"The concept of growth is conveyed through vertical lines, while the diverse group of participants in the YOG is represented by elements created through cut-outs and texture changes. The variety of shapes and forms depicts diversity and how we can all contribute to peace and coexistence in difference ways. The polished finishes create dynamic little sparks of light, symbolising the desire to surpass ourselves and make positive changes in the world," it added.
"Winning recognition like that, out of 3,000 submissions, is very important to me and I will cherish it for the rest of my life," Uwai said. ■
