According to the Youth and Sports Ministry, the logo and the mascot must use “parts of our heritage, our traditional/cultural symbols and flora, as well as fauna to epitomise our collective dreams and aspirations as a people, first as Ghanaians (HOST NATION) and then as Africans.”
“The Logo and Mascot should also represent the African Union (AU) and the African Union Commission (AUC) Images. They should both be easily recognisable and colourful as entries will be judged for the style, creativity and impact, easily usable for all promotions and advertising”.
Interested participants for the contest must be a Ghanaian and will have to provide their full name, proof of identity such as national ID (Ghana Card) or passport, and email addresses, as well as phone numbers.

Winner for either logo or mascot submission will take home GH₵5,000.00 cash and plaque each whilst the first runner-up and second runner-up will go home with GH₵3,000 and GH₵2,000 each.
