OCEAN COUNTY – Officials are calling on local students to design a logo that will represent the county during the 2026 World Cup, which is coming to New Jersey next year.
The county’s Department of Tourism has opened a logo contest for high school and college students who live or study in Ocean County. Entries must be original artwork and include the words “Ocean County,” “World Cup,” and “2026.” Submissions cannot contain FIFA trademarks and must be sent in high-resolution formats such as PNG, JPG, or TIFF.
Digital entries are due by November 30, and must be emailed to OCTourism@co.ocean.nj.us. County officials noted that artwork will be reviewed using AI-detection tools to ensure authenticity.
A single winner will be announced December 6. The chosen design will be featured on promotional items, signage, and digital platforms tied to Ocean County’s participation in the 2026 World Cup events.
