What is the KOMPAN character?
The KOMPAN character that features in the KOMPAN logo is known as a Homo Luden. The name is given from a book originally published in 1938, by Dutch historian and cultural theorist Johan Huizinga. The book discusses the importance of the play element of culture and society. Thus, the KOMPAN logo character, the Homo Luden, represents a playful human being and expresses our belief that everybody is unique and valuable.
Marking applications
Applications will be assessed on the KOMPAN character photo/video entry (weighted 55%), sharing on social media (5%) and suitability for the funding from a site visit (weighted 40%).
