BEIJING, Mar. 2 - Yesterday the organizers began searching for proposals
and plans that will mark a truly memorable beginning and end to the
upcoming Games.
"We open the door for all talented individuals and organizations to come
up with proposals for splendid opening and closing ceremonies," said
Jiang Xiaoyu, vice-president of the Beijing Organizing Committee for the
Games of the XXIX Olympiad (BOCOG).
Acceptance of submissions for the two ceremonies began yesterday and ends
on July 31, the BOCOG announced.
Anyone interested in taking part in the historic event is welcome; but
foreign nationals or organizations are required to team up with Chinese
citizens or organizations to participate.
The BOCOG will also invite well-known individuals and organizations to
contribute their ideas and has also promised to solicit feedback from
ordinary citizens.
The plans for the ceremonies are expected to be finalized no later than
May 2007.
The opening ceremony is scheduled for August 8, 2008 and is expected to
last four hours. The closing ceremony will close the Beijing Games on
August 24.
