Siyashesha Leadership Incubator terms and conditions for network logo design competition

Siyashesha Leadership Incubator NPC is the managing entity of the ACTIVATE! Change Drivers Network (referred to as ACTIVATE! in this document). This document sets out the terms and conditions of establishing a competition with the network to create and design a network logo for the ACTIVATE! Change Drivers Network.
If the network has their own unique logo – designed by Activators and chosen by Activators – this will promote a collective identity among network members. In line with network sustainability, the organisation believes that having Activators design a network logo will encourage accountability among network members while enabling them to own the logo and create their own marketing paraphernalia for the network
Only Activators who have completed the ACTIVATE! Change Drivers training programme is permitted to participate (i.e. must have completed 2 modules of the ACD training from 2012 to 2019. This will not include the 2019 cohort who are yet to complete module 2 training in intakes three (3) and four (4).
