2015 - XV Pacific Games

On the 27th of September 2009, the Pacific Games Council, at its meeting coinciding with the 2009 Pacific Mini Games, elected Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea as the host of the 2015 Games. The final vote was 25 - 22 in favour of Port Moresby over Tonga. -- http://giaman.com/pg/?cad56a

The XV Pacific Games are being held in Papua New Guinea from the 4th to the 18th of July 2015. It is expected the cream of the Pacific’s sporting talent will be in PNG to compete for gold, silver and bronze in the much anticipated 2015 15th (XV) Pacific Games.

PNG has already successfully hosted the Games in 1963 and 1991 although they were then known as the South Pacific Games.

XV Pacific Games logo

A nationwide design competition was launched to create the perfect symbol for the XV Pacific Games. It had to be simple, recognisable, capture the spirit of the Games and reflect Papua New Guinea’s part in it. The winning design, by Ian Kiali, encapsulates the brotherhood and camaraderie of both Papua New Guinea and the Games. It depicts a yellow Lagatoi sail to represent the host city of Port Moresby. A black circle reflects the people of Papua New Guinea receiving friends from the Pacific nations – depicted by the red and green elements – with open arms. The blue waves and dots belong to the Pacific Games Council, which oversees the Pacific Games.
