Pacific Resilience Facility Logo Design Contest

The Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat invites entries for the design of a logo for the Pacific Resilience Facility (PRF).

To build our resilience the Pacific Islands Forum will establish a regional financing facility. The goal is to raise US$1.5 billion to help vulnerable Pacific people. The PRF will support small grant-based and high-impact projects to make communities disaster-ready. This is a Pacific-owned, Pacific-led solution.

We need a logo that sums up this ambitious concept and communicates our message to the world.

To enter, simply follow these rules:

Each entrant must be a national of the Pacific Islands Forum’s 18 member countries[1].
