Marking 20 Years in Style: FIS Cross Country Invites Fans to Shape the Future of Tour de Ski

FIS Cross-Country is celebrating two decades of the Tour de Ski by inviting fans, designers, and even internal FIS team members to create a new logo for the 20th anniversary edition in 2025. The Tour de Ski, first staged in the 2006–07 season, is a hallmark stage race in the FIS Cross-Country World Cup, and the chosen design will serve as the official emblem for the 2025 event across promotional materials, events, and media.

Contest overview: - Purpose: Design the official 20th anniversary Tour de Ski 2025 logo. - Who can enter: Public participants and FIS internal team members. - Usage: Winning design becomes the official logo for Tour de Ski 2025, credited to the designer.

What FIS is looking for: - An original, inspiring logo that conveys the excitement and endurance of cross-country skiing. - A subtle reference to the 20th anniversary. - Integration of official FIS logo elements (resources provided by FIS). - Versatility and clarity for use at various sizes and on digital/print platforms.

Design guidelines: - Include and harmonize FIS branding (e.g., “FIS” wordmark and ski-track motif). - Visually suggest cross-country skiing or winter sport (e.g., ski tracks, skier silhouettes, mountains, snowflakes, or a nod to the Final Climb). - Optionally include text or graphic noting “20 years”/“20th Edition.” - Favor simple color palettes; ensure legibility on varied backgrounds; supply high-resolution raster for initial entry and vector for final delivery (SVG/EPS/AI preferred). - Entries must be original and free of third‑party copyrighted elements (besides the provided FIS assets).

Submission details: 1) Create a concept following the guidelines. 2) Save as PNG/JPEG for initial submission (vector to be delivered by the winner). 3) Optionally include a short concept description. 4) Email to [email protected] with subject “Tour de Ski Logo Contest Submission,” including full name, country/affiliation, and contact info. 5) Deadline: July 20, 2025. Late submissions may not be considered.

By entering, participants grant FIS the right to use submissions for promotional purposes. The winning design becomes FIS property for official use, and the winner may be asked for refinements or alternate formats.
