Brussels, 3 November 2025 – The Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States (OACPS) is pleased to announce the unveiling of its official 50th Anniversary logo, commemorating five decades of solidarity, partnership, and progress among its 79 Member States.
The logo was selected through a global design competition launched in May 2025, which attracted over 40 submissions from across OACPS regions and beyond. Following a rigorous evaluation based on creativity, symbolism, and alignment with the Organisation’s values, the winning design was submitted by Mr. Wishwanand Sheoratan from the Republic of Suriname.
The Selection Committee noted that it was not an easy task to reach a final decision, given the exceptionally high quality and diversity of the submissions received. The Committee further recognised the artistic talent, creativity, and commitment demonstrated by all participants, whose contributions reflect the vibrant cultural richness and unity of the OACPS regions.
The 50th Anniversary logo embodies the values of the OACPS, reflecting its shared vision of sustainable development and global cooperation. It will feature prominently in all activities and events leading up to the OACPS 50th Anniversary celebrations in 2025–2026, including the 11th Summit of Heads of State and Government, to be held in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea, from 27 to 29 March 2026.
The Secretary-General of the OACPS, H.E. Mr. Moussa S. Batraki, commended the creativity and diversity reflected in the competition, stating: «This logo symbolizes not only our proud history, but also our shared determination to shape a more inclusive, resilient, and equitable future for all Members of the OACPS » .
The OACPS extends its sincere appreciation to all Member States, and its gratitude to every artist and designer who took part in this initiative. Their imagination and passion truly embody the spirit of the OACPS, and the Organisation celebrates this milestone as a testament to the enduring unity, creativity, and spirit of cooperation that continue to define it.
