Message from the President
of the International Olympic Committee,
Jacques Rogge


for the “Sport, Olympism and Native Sports” Contest organised by
the National Olympic & Paralympic Academy of Iran, November 2007
On behalf of the Olympic Movement, I should like to convey my greetings and best wishes to the participants of the National Contest on Olympic, Sport and Art.

From 13 to 15 November, the National Olympic and Paralympic Academy of Iran invites the artists of the country to create sculptures, graphic designs and paintings on the theme of “Sport, Olympism and Native Sports”, thus highlighting an active synergy between the worlds of art and sport and then heightening perception of the link between these two areas.

As the national phase of the “2008 Olympic Sport and Art Contest” launched by the IOC Commission for Culture and Olympic Education, this contest could bring to life works which could go on to win and be put on show in Beijing during the forthcoming Games of the XXIX Olympiad in August 2008.

All my best wishes for success to the organisers. And good luck to all the competitors!
