Artwork must be sent as a digital file through a SUBMIT page that will be available on this website from the 3rd of September 2009 (PLEASE NOTE: it’s not available right now, it will be added during the day). This is the only way to ensure artwork will be considered by our jury. Once this page is online, participants’ registration will be done via the submission form. It will also specify the artwork file requirements.

How many posters can I submit?
You’re welcome to submit as many posters as you wish!

When does the contest close for entries?

Submissions will be accepted until Noon (CET time) on that date.

Is there any registration fee?
No. Participation to the contest is completely free. The contest is organized on a non-profit, voluntary basis. For this reason, we do not ask any for any entry money, and for the same reason we do not offer any monetary prizes.

Is the Call for Entries available in any language rather than English?
Unfortunately not at the moment, but we’re thinking of translating the material for this contest to French and Farsi in the near future.

Can I submit artwork with copy not written in English?
Yes. There are no limitations or specifications of any kind concerning copy language in our regulations.
We hope to receive ideas strong enough to transcend language barriers and touch values common to all humanity.

Does my poster have to use the same words as the “message” of the brief?
No, you are by no means obliged to use the same words and furthermore you don’t have to limit yourself to what the message is about. If you can find a different way to address the brief, then include  it in your poster. Please never forget you should always be consistent with the brief.
