Sochi 2014 announced Tuesday that the mascot competition for the Olympic and Paralympic Games is now accepting international entries.
Dmitry Chernyshenko, President and CEO of Sochi 2014 said in a press release, 'the Olympic and Paralympic movements are without borders. Their mission is to bring together representatives from different nations and countries in the name of sports and peace. That is why we have decided that everyone should have the opportunity to propose a mascot idea for consideration, regardless of nationality or country of residence. We are delighted to welcome all individuals with a strong passion for Russian culture and language to participate'.

All submissions from foreign nationals will be processed according to the rules of the contest, and those satisfying these criteria will be posted on the official website of the competition.


All other conditions of the competition, which began three weeks ago, have remained the same. Participants should upload their work by registering on talisman.sochi2014.ru, or by sending it to P.O. Box 'Talisman Sochi 2014', Moscow, 105275, together with a completed questionnaire.
The winner will be chosen by popular vote on February 7, 2011, three years before the start of the Sochi 2014 Games."
