The organizing committee of the 15th National Winter Games of China will be open to hearing ideas and designs for the event's slogan, emblem and mascot from all walks of life between April 1 and March 30, according to the government of host province Liaoning.

The 15th National Winter Games of China will take place in 2028 and key words for the event's concept are "green," "share," "vitality" and "fusion." Designs for the slogan, emblem and mascot must match the key words, convey the Olympic spirit and traditional Chinese sportsmanship, display local cultural features of Liaoning, and remain relatively simple and catchy.

Selection results will be announced before September 30 and authors of adopted designs will be rewarded in cash: 10,000 yuan (about $1,375) for the slogan, 50,000 yuan (about $6,875) for the emblem and 50,000 for the mascot.

"As a province with natural advantages for winter sports, Liaoning must inherit the precious legacies from 'engaging 300 million Chinese people in winter sports' following the 2022 Winter Olympic Games in Beijing," said Wang Dong, deputy chief of the Liaoning Provincial Sports Bureau. "We view hosting the 15th National Winter Games as an opportunity to further promote winter sports all over the province, and establish a better service system of extensive fitness-for-all activities for people in Liaoning to build better health via winter sports."
