Thought I'd open a new thread for the 2019 European Games, now officially set to be held in the capital of Belarus, Minsk. Personally, I look forward to seeing preparations as they only have 2 years after the host city was swapped around numerous times (The Netherlands, Kazan/Sochi and now Minsk). The VP of the Belorussian NOC did say they only plan to spend $40 million on the games and that the event will be heavily dependent on existing infrastructure (Which, I think is great). They're also planning on holding only 10-15 sports opposed to Baku's 20. I did mention that the games will rely on existing facilities however they do intend to build a facility for rhythmic gymnastics (fingers crossed artistic will be held during these games too) that will likely be completed in 2018 and are renovating the Dinamo Stadium so that it is able to host the track & field events - This is apparently the approved design - There were a whole lot of other designs but they opted to go for that one. There was a really nice glass roofed one that looked very classy and elegant and way better than the one above, I'll try and find a pic. No info on the logo, slogan or the proposed dates, kinda worrying if you ask me, they've only got 2 years now...

Okay - here we go. One vote, don't vote for your own. Yoshi to follow with any other instructions.

Over to Yoshi - but it's one vote per person, no voting for your own logo.

Okay, voting has started. Sort of. I'll hand over to Yoshi to explain the rules of this round. Good luck everyone! So that's Rols out, and heeeeeeeeeere's Yoshi! Yoshi: Hello! Thanks for the intro Rols, & for getting this up. So after getting much fewer logos than I expected given wide choice & how long it's been since January's logo comp, this'll be simple after all. Here goes: You can vote for up to THREE logos in this stage. You have until SUNDAY AT 12PM UK to vote. The top 3 logos at the end will progress to the final stages, which will be run under IOC rules. That's it I guess, good luck, happy voting, & may the best logo win!
