The world comes back to Wausau in 2012. Wausau Kayak/Canoe Corporation is pleased to announce that Todd Malhoit has won the competition to design a logo for the 2012 International Canoe Federation (ICF) Junior Canoe Slalom World Championships event, a major international competitive event to be hosted by Wausau Whitewater in Wausau, Wisconsin in the summer of 2012.
Karla Westcott, Chair of the 2012 event “When the committee was discussing the Junior Worlds we felt the event needed a special logo, the contest was launched to attract creative entries. Selecting the winning logo from the submissions was difficult, but the logo by Malhoit caught our attention with the red, white, and blue theme!"
