The European Games Krakow-Małopolska 2023 Organising Committee has chosen three outstanding designs from the mascot competition featuring a dragon, a lynx and a salamander.
“Ryś Ryszard”, the lynx, and “Salamandra Sandra”, the salamander, were both drawn wearing a t-shirt highlighting the Kraków-Małopolska 2023 logo, while “Smok Wawelski”, the dragon design, has a designated space on the stomach for a logo. Click here to vote your favourite one!
The initiative, which received over 2,400 entries, was open to young people aged 5-15 across the continent. The public can cast their votes to select the winner on Facebook, with polls closing tomorrow, 13 October, at 1pm CET.

And the prizes don’t stop there; the winner will also receive a personalised mascot inspired by their design and a package of official European Games 2023 merchandise.
The European Games takes place from 21 June – 2 July 2023, where the continent’s elite level athletes will compete in 25 sports.
