2010-Canada's Olympic Journey Begins'
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(CCNMatthews - March 30, 2005) -
National Television Program April 23 Unveils Vancouver 2010 Olympic
Emblem
On Saturday, April 23rd, Canadians are invited to start the journey
towards the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in Vancouver with a
nationally televised celebration of Canada followed by the unveiling of
the 2010 Olympic Winter Games emblem. The live broadcast from General
Motors Place - for which free tickets become available to the public
tomorrow - marks Canada's first major 2010 Winter Games event since
Vancouver was named Host City on July 2, 2003.
The program - titled "Imagine 2010 - Canada's Olympic journey begins" -
will air from coast to coast on the CTV network on Saturday, April 23
(7:00 p.m. PT; 10:00 p.m. ET). It will feature hundreds of performers
and surprise special guests as the stage is set for the dramatic
unveiling of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic emblem. Complimentary tickets
(limit of four per person) are available through Ticketmaster

31). Further details about the event can be found at
www.vancouver2010.com.
The emblem will be the primary identifier of the 2010 Winter Games and
will become one of the most highly recognized logos in Canada and around
the world for the next five years. The logo was selected by an
international judging panel following a nation-wide Olympic Emblem
Design Competition that drew more than 1,600 submissions from throughout
Canada.
The Vancouver 2010 Olympic Emblem Design Competition began with a
two-day Olympic Design Conference attended by more than 400 delegates in
June 2004. As with previous Olympic Games competitions to replace bid
logos, the delegates were briefed on the history of Olympic design and
the Look of the Games programs from previous Summer and Winter Games.
The Vancouver 2010 winning emblem design earns a prize of $25,000 and
two tickets to the 2010 Olympic Winter Games Opening Ceremony. Please
see the attached backgrounder for more information including a colourful
look at logos from previous bid committees and Games organizing
committees.
