About Competition
EGTC GO, European Grouping of Territorial Cooperation recently has published an international competition for the selection of the logo and visual identity of the European Capital of Culture 2025 Nova Gorica – Gorizia.
What is the European Capital of Culture?
The European Capital of Culture is a project of the European Commission that has taken place every year since 1985 and involves two cities from two states of the European Union selected by an independent jury within national competitions. In 2025, in addition to Nova Gorica and Gorizia, the German city of Chemnitz will also be bearing the title. The theme (slogan) of the European Capital of Culture 2025 is GO! Borderless, which embodies their desire to create a city without borders. Nova Gorica and Gorizia overcoming together all kinds of 'borders': two cities divided by the wars of the twentieth century, united by close collaboration and friendship, have set themselves an ambitious goal: to become the European Capital of Cross-border Culture.
Under the motto Go! Borderless, the borderless international project promotes and implements one city of culture in two cities, which together overcome all “borders”: care for the common development of the territory, friendship, development of a common cultural center and valorization of all the cultures and traditions of the shared space.
