Back to Cucumbers and Tomatoes.2011 Mascot Contest Posted January 24th 2011 at 12:00 pm by Emily Martin

One of the most important traditions in iGosia is the election of the annual mascot. Much like the Chinese calendar, a specific animal is designated to each year on the iGo calendar. Each summer, the mascot travels with each team and not only finds its way into many pictures, but also becomes quite a conversation starter!Let’s take a look back at the many mascots of iGosia:

2005 was the first year iGosia had a mascot - the year of the Armadillo.

2006 was the year of the Penguin.

2007 was the year of the Goat. She’s even wearing the team shirt!

2008 was the year of the Giraffe. What a great picture!

2009 was the year of the Octopus, or as Shu referred to it, the squid. We got so many great pics from our teams that year! Note the two team shirts in the second picture!

2010 was the year of the Moose and also a great Jimmy year!

Finally, it’s here. The moment you’ve all been waiting for. The unveiling of the 2011 mascot. Drumroll, please…..Ta-Da!

2011 is the year of the OWL!

Now, for iGo Alumns, you know that each year students get an awesome team shirt which features the mascot. This year, we’re doing something a little different! A CONTEST!

That’s right. We want YOU to design the coolest looking team shirt that features an owl and our slogan “Make Him Famous.” (Due to the locations our teams go, please do not include any sort of spiritual reference or “iGo Global” in your design.) The people of iGosia will review the designs and we’ll post our favorites online and let you vote for your favorite t-shirt design! The winning design will become the 2011 team shirt!

Hurry! Designs are due by February 14! Submit your designs to owl@igoglobal.org. Please be sure to include your full name in the email!

question… for the contest, do we need to submit our designs as like a digital image or can we draw a picture on paper and take a picture of it and attach it to the email?
