Please, no logo there
In May, we are preparing Imagine Cup Junior in Sofia, Bulgaria, to train local teams for that great IT competition for kids. I've added the central theme of the Imagine Cup and the logo of Awara IT Academy, which is the event organizer. But, unfortunately, I can't add any info that "don't use the logo as a background." So, it is not as cool as it could be

When I am at the start of creating something, I like to use templates as a reference.
Therefore, designer suggests some templated for upcoming events.
Also, I can ask AI to share ideas on the theme "traveling" or "opening office".
Finally, I can enrich this design with generated AI images.
