Mascot Proposals by the Schools at Sanremo

The people will decide. A survey on the children’s proposals for the mascots of the 2026 Olympics and Paralympics will open at the Festival.

Also this year Milano Cortina 2026 returns to the Sanremo Festival to make people protagonists of the Italian Winter Olympics and Paralympics. After the emblem and the official song, on Wednesday 8 February the survey will be launched from the Ariston stage to involve Italy and the world in the choice of another fundamental element of the Games. The public will be asked to give an opinion on the schools' proposals for the Mascots of Milano Cortina 2026.

At the Ariston the schools' ideas for the Mascots 

Amadeus and Gianni Morandi will unveil the finalist drawings of the Ideas Competition "The School for the Mascot of Milano Cortina 2026", launched in February 2022 by the Ministry of Education and Merit together with the Fondazione Milano Cortina 2026. The initiative was aimed at students of primary and secondary schools, both state and private. The participation in the competition involved all Italian regions, involving, in total, 81 provinces. There were about 400 applications and 1600 project ideas received, 681 classes participated and 82 institutes are the collective authors of the graphic works. A participation that directly involved the students in a process that, starting from the principle of mutual collaboration, led to the submission of thousands of ideas. A special Commission has identified the two couples who will be presented to the public on Wednesday evening. An important moment bringing together school, music and sport.
