In response to the request of several artist groups, the Regional Development Council (RDC-VI) Secretariat decided to extend the deadline for submission of entries for the logo making contest from May 31 to June 30, 2016.
EO 183 (s.2015) signed by President Benigno Aquino III created the Negros Island Region, thereby removing the province of Negros Occidental under the administrative supervision of Region VI. As such, there is a need to design a new logo for the RDC-VI that will reflect the current political configuration of the region, its prominent characteristics, and the vision of Western Visayas.
Responding to this need, the Council approved the conduct of a logo-making contest to search anew that symbol that best represent the RDC-VI. Below are the mechanics, rules, and regulations:
