Virginia is For Lovers® was created in 1969 and has become one of the most beloved and well-known slogans in the world. While it has meant a lot of different things to a lot of different people, one thing hasn’t changed – the LOVE. In September 2019, the Virginia Tourism Corporation, owners of the VIFL logo, granted the Virginia Volkssport Association "first use" of a new sibling logo that it requested, "Virginia Is For Walking Lovers." Now the VVA is celebrating the love!
We’re sharing the love in Virginia with more than 350 public "LOVE" artworks across the state. The LOVEwork statues represent our communities and provide fun photo ops.
Find the "Love your Sweet 16 LOVEwork" Around Virginia
Sign up and walk or bike a trail established by the Virginia Volkssports Association or any of its member clubs that goes by a LOVEwork statue. Record your accomplishment with the event stamp from the IVV (International Federation of Popular Sports) for that trail in a special logbook available for this program.
Qualifying Events: Any trail that is officially sanctioned by the American Volkssports Association (AVA.org) that has a LOVEwork statue located in Virginia counts. A qualified event will have "Find the Love" included in the brochure for the event. A stamp can only be used once in the book. The program starts January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2024. Insert cards will be accepted.
Upon completion of the program, please send the logbook to: Virginia Volkssport Association, c/o Chris Kelly, 12311 Ridgefield Parkway, Richmond, VA 23233. A commemorative patch and your completed souvenir book will be returned as soon as possible.
