ORGANIZERS of the Shenzhen Reading Month have unveiled 10 mascots and invited the public to vote on the one they consider best represents the spirit of the reading month, now an annual event in Shenzhen.
The 10 candidates announced Wednesday were shortlisted by experts from more than 100 entries contributed by professional and amateur designers from Shenzhen and other parts of the country including Fujian, Zhejiang, Anhui and Shanghai.
The organizers began soliciting ideas for a mascot character from the public in September in a move to create a recognizable symbol for Shenzhen's culture brand and promote reading month activities among residents.
'The contributions made by graphic designers, college students and enthusiasts in design have fully manifested the contributors' imagination and creativity,'said the organizers. 'The creation of each piece closely centers on the theme 'book,' although the styles vary greatly,' they said.
The designers have also given their creations pet names so they can be easily remembered.
