In October 2016, an emblem review committee grouping 15 Chinese and international judges was established. The members in the committee come from a wide range of fields, including design, art, sculpture, sports, media, and Paralympics.

"We received emblem designs from China's 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities, the Hong Kong and Macao Special Administrative Regions, and Chinese Taipei. Designers from 13 countries around world, including the U.S., the UK, France, Russia, Canada, Australia, Mexico, Japan, and South Korea, submitted their designs," said Jiang Xiaoyu, President of the emblem review committee.

David Grossman, President of the International Council of Design and member of the review committee, said, "it was interesting to see that many different people made submissions. There were professionals, there were amateurs. I think there were probably some children, too, who submitted proposals. And it's very interesting to see the interest from the public in creating such a rich basis for discussion."

After rounds of selection and revision, the emblems "Winter Dream" and "Flying High" eventually stood out and were adopted as the emblems of the 2022 Beijing Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.

Fan Di'an, member of the emblem review committee noted the interesting similarities in many of the designs submitted.

"When we reviewed the proposals, we saw that the designers shared many similarities in choosing the elements for the emblems: that is, to combine ice and snow sports with Chinese culture. This was very impressive," Fan said.
