It focuses on circular movement of symbols, which represents a dynamic APEC.
The logo will be used as the official logo of the 2017 Year and other APEC-related activities in Vietnam.
Two consolation prizes valued at 7 million VND (310 USD) were awarded to Pham Tam from Ho Chi Minh City and Tran Hoai Duc from Hanoi.
