> the IMU decided to move forward to create an annual International Day of Mathematics and to select 
> March 14 ("Pi Day") as the date for the IDM.

> UNESCO is the authority to proclaim the International Day of Mathematics. If UNESCO decides to proclaim 
> the IDM, the first celebration of IDM is expected to be on March 14 in 2020.

> For more information see also the IMU webpage https://www.mathunion.org/outreach/IDM <https://www.mathunion.org/outreach/IDM>.
> 
> Now the IMU is inviting bids for the logo of the IDM.
> 
> Ideally, the logo must be available in different formats for use on the web and for printing on posters. 
> An editable version of the logo will be needed for use in high quality work. If this is not feasible, the 
> IMU is entitled to engage a professional graphic designer for this purpose.
> 
> Logos together with artist information (full name, date of birth, career or profession, personal 
> webpage if any, and email) must be sent by email at idm at mathunion.org <mailto:idm at mathunion.org>. Only electronic bids are eligible. 
> An email confirming receipt of submissions will be sent. In case of not receiving a confirmation within 
> 48 hours, please resend the work.
> 
> Submissions may include more than one logo.  Submissions must include the artist’s statement that, if the 
> logo is chosen by the IMU, the creator of the logo will assign all rights to the logo to the IMU. This includes 
> the permission to make slight modifications. The IMU assures that the name of the winning artist will appear 
> on the IDM website.  The competition does not give a monetary award and is open to all individuals 
> worldwide.  For submissions not chosen, the rights are retained by the artist.
> 
> The deadline for submission of logos to the competition is 31 December 2018. IMU’s decision 
> is expected by April 2019.
> 
> The jury for selection of the IDM logo will be nominated by the Executive Committee of the IMU and 
> its decision will be final.
> 
> In a separate call, see AO CL 20/2018, organizations are invited to make bids to host the IDM website.
> Please feel free to circulate this call among potential bidders.
