The emblem of the Defensor del Pueblo was selected in a public contest supported by the UNDP. The contest was open to students in art, advertising and graphic design of all the universities of the country. The selected emblem was designed by Víctor Manuel Guerrero Cabral, student in art and graphic design at UASD. Honor diplomas were awarded to the other runner-ups, Francisco Eugenio Soto Ortiz (UASD) and Julissa Mercedes Ureña Castro (UNIBE). Students from UNAPEC and UCSD also entered the contest.
