We invite you to participate in the logo competition for the new international project LIFE Danube Free Sky1
that connects 7 countries along the Danube river (AT, SK, HU, HR, RS,
BG, RO) with the aim to protect our precious birds from the deaths and
injuries caused by the electrocution and collisions with power lines.
The project has started in September 2020 and will last until
February 2026. During this period, more than one thousand kilometers of
railway and power lines will be surveyed and on the most dangerous
sections, the flight diverters will be installed for better visibility
and prevention of collisions. Also, the most dangerous utility poles
will be insulated to prevent electrocution.
This unique project represents cooperation between 15 partners – 8
electric companies, 1 railway company, 3 national parks and 3 NGOs. The
main aim is to create a safer “free sky” place for birds along the
„European Amazon” – the extraordinary Danube river.
The project logo will be used for a wide variety of purposes:
electronic version on websites, social networks, videos, contracts/other
formal documents, etc. The logo will be also used on printed materials,
such as notice boards, publications, PR set: e.g. T-shirts, pens,
decorative magnets, stickers, etc.
