As cornerstone and theme in our journey toward realising the values and yield of democratic life, we will embark on an annual endurance challenge called The Global Democracy Tour or The GDPtour. It will be a bicycle tour beginning in a country in our ROP, and traversing the other countries of the ROP, to end at the start. Men and women ages 25-35 will participate for a prize.
We will work with partner organisations and the respective governments to map out the route that you helped develop and the attendant facilities required for such a comprehensive and uniquely African tour. We ask for your support and ideas on the challenge.
Thank you for submitting your final design ideas. We will review all of them and if we end up adopting any of the designs, we will share that here with you and the winner will be notified via the contact provided with the final designs.
If on the other hand, we end up using parts of one or more designs, we will share that here and the designers will be notified accordingly. Such designers will end up receiving the proportion of the Prize money commensurate with the scope of their ideas that is incorporated into our final Logo.
All participants will receive gifts for their time and effort.
Thank you again and we look forward to the opportunity for collaborative work again.

Tour ROUTE
We wish to invite you to participate in designing the Route Map for The GDP-tour. The Route is envisaged to run through the capital cities of our ROP. We intend to pass through as many ethnically-diverse villages as possible including dirt roads and hilly terrain. It is an endurance challenge and therefore speed is not terribly significant. Ambiance and culture are of more significance. The most impressive Route developped will receive a prize, and the Preferred Route chosen will also receive a prize. When you develop your Route, please share with us the ideas you considered and explain why your Route should be the Preferred Route for The GDPtour.
1. Use the colours of our ROP country flags, The GDP Logo, a bicycle or wheels, and touring theme in your design. We discourage theft of intellectual property of other artists or graphic designers and the culprits will be summarily disqualified from this and any other engagement with The GDP.
