In 2026-2027, the Embassies of Sweden in Ethiopia and Ethiopia in Sweden will celebrate 80 years of diplomatic relations between Sweden and Ethiopia — a milestone reflecting a long-standing partnership rooted in friendship and people-to-people ties, trade and development cooperation, and shared values.
To commemorate this occasion, the Embassy invites creative individuals, artists, and designers from both Ethiopia and Sweden to participate in a Logo Design Competition that captures the spirit of “80 Years of Friendship – Forward Together.” The logo will be used throughout the anniversary year on official promotion and communication materials, digital platforms, publications, and events.
