– The government has requested government accounting firm SOAB to evaluate the selection process for the new national emblem. According to Culture Minister Sithree van Heydoorn, an investigation is being conducted to provide clarity and transparency.
Curaçao’s new emblem was announced last week. The design called ‘Mi Pais, Mi Orguyo‘ by Adresetti Monart received the most votes from the population. However, the emblem has been heavily criticized by several people in the community. For example, certain aspects of the design were taken from the image website Shutterstock.

SOAB‘s evaluation must show whether the emblem meets the criteria that have been established in advance. It is also being investigated whether some designers have been favored in the selection procedure. An expert was approached for the legal part with regard to copyrights.
