2025 Canada Games Launches Province-wide Mascot Challenge

The 2025 Canada Games Host Society is inviting students in grades 4 to 6 in the province to design the official mascot of the 2025 Canada Games.

Youth are asked to create a mascot that’s either an object, animal, or character that reflects the identity, culture, and heritage of St. John’s and Newfoundland and Labrador.

Youth will submit artwork, a suggested mascot name, and a backstory. Entries will be reviewed by a panel of judges made up of Host Society staff, members of the 2025 Canada Games Youth Advisory Group, and other community representatives.

The contest winner will receive a Canada Games prize pack, a class party, a visit from the official 2025 Games mascot, and the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be a torchbearer for the 2025 Canada Games Torch Relay.

The contest closes on December 8, 2023, and the winning design will be unveiled in January 2024.
