The Logo of the Year of the Belarusian Woman has been determined! It was unanimously selected from more than 100 options.
“We wanted to see how girls and women envision this logo, how they represent it. Each could draw her version based on intuition and feelings. At the same time, we did not set any parameters. We believed that Belarusian women themselves should propose the symbol of the current year,” said Olga Shpilevskaya.
The competition was held among all regional, united, and primary organizations of the Belarusian Union of Women. Participants presented more than 100 different options. Many works exhibited a unified style: many suggested reflecting the image of a woman in the logo. The interpretations were completely different.
The winner of the competition was the leader of the youth wing of the Volkovysk district organization of the Belarusian Union of Women, Yevgeniya Pogranychna. She is a photographer and has previously presented several of her own photo exhibitions. She enjoys photographing family and women.
According to Olga Shpilevskaya, the choice in favor of Yevgeniya Pogranychna's work was unanimous. “Everyone agreed that this version has everything: the symbolism of the country — red and green tones, ornamentation, and the cornflower — the symbol of Belarus and the BUW, and, of course, the image of the Belarusian woman, which conveys lightness and strength, kindness and beauty,” explained the chairwoman of the Belarusian Union of Women.
