Call Goes Out for 2010 Olympic Gold Medal Designs

While it would be nice to stand on the podium with a gold medal of your own in hockey, snowboarding, or speed-skating, it would also be pretty sweet to be the person behind the design of all those gold medals, silver medals, and bronze medals.

The Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games (VANOC) has announced that they are now seeking proposals from artists who are interested in designing all of the medals for the 2010 Olympic games. The Request for Proposals can be found at www.vancouver2010.com.

VANOC undertook a similar strategy before deciding on the Inukshuk as our official Olympic logo.We recently got treated to the new Olympic mascots. Now it's time to design the medals.

Does anyone know when they will announce the medal design? I would have thought it would have already been announced by now, but alas, nothing.
