The Medical Center of the Americas (MCA) Foundation has issued a call for logos in the form of a Logo Design Contest. Residents of the Paso del Norte region who are U.S. citizens or U.S. residents and at least 18 years of age are invited to participate. Deadline is July 1 to submit logo entries. Winner will receive $1,000 as well as other accolades.

Purpose of the contest will be to find a logo mark for the BioMedical Institute of the Americas (BMIA), a new nonprofit affiliate of the MCA Foundation. The BMIA is being developed by the MCA Foundation to enhance the flow of biomedical science from bench side to bedside for patients regardless of their ability to pay. It is part of the MCA Foundation’s broader plan to advance the region’s biomedical innovation pipeline

“We are happy to invite the region’s graphic artists to submit logo designs for what is to be a biomedicine-focused economic engine for the Paso del Norte. We anticipate an exciting array of logo entries and hope to select a winner by July 27,” said Noemi Rojas, communications director for the MCA Foundation.

Logo aesthetic requirements as well as eligibility, submission guidelines, rules and regulations for the contest are now posted at www.mcamericas.org/bmia.
