广州亚运理念：激情盛会 和谐亚洲（The Vision of the 16th Asian Games）

    来自全中国的1738条应征作品，历经9个月的征集、精心筛选和再锤炼，凝炼成了“激情盛会、和谐亚洲”（Thrilling Games, Harmonious Asia）这一2010年广州亚运会的官方理念！
    2007年3月9日，亚组委正式宣布了这一理念，它将永久载入亚洲奥林匹克运动的史册。
    “激情盛会、和谐亚洲”既把握了时代的主题，又体现了亚运会的宗旨，表达了亚洲各国人民的共同愿望……
    “激情盛会”一是指广州人民将用最大的热情来迎接全亚洲的运动健儿；二是广州亚运会将是一场充满激情与活力的盛会，能充分体现动感亚洲这一意义。
    “和谐亚洲”则道出广州人民、中国人民对亚洲的期待，希望前来参加亚运会的各国、各地区人民，不分社会制度、不分肤色、不分语言，以相互之间的友谊，共同营造一个和谐的亚洲。
    从2006年6月8日开始，广州面向全国征集亚运会理念。截至8月15日，共收到理念作品1738条。经过评审专家三轮讨论和投票评选，5条理念成为入围作品。亚组委召集广州的社科专家进行了研讨，再评审和构思创作，最后提出了3个方案，并最后修定为“激情盛会，和谐亚洲”。
    这一理念的发布，是广州亚运会筹办的重要里程碑。
