QUELQUES TRUCS POUR UNE AFFICHE GAGNANTE

A FEW TIPS TO DESIGN A WINNING ENTRY

As you know already, the deadline for poster submissions to the current edition of Poster for Tomorrow: "Gender Equality Now!" has been postponed (no pun intended) to the 15th of July.

We imagine that many of you might be refining your artworks before sending them in.

It seems like the perfect time not only to thank you again for the enthusiasm, creativity and support that you showed since we released the call for entries, but also for giving you a few tips about the submission process.


Here we go:

1) We expect you to submit a single poster for each concept you come up with, i.e. not a campaign composed of multiple subjects or different versions of the same poster concept. Still, you may send up to 10 different entries. By different we mean entries with a different idea, not just a different background colour or a different typeface.

2) The format needs to be the vertical. Landscape entries won't be considered - our exhibition and catalogue are designed to fit vertical posters only, sorry for this limitation.

3) The artwork file must be precisely a 2953x4134 pixels wide JPG at 150DPI, otherwise the uploading may fail.

4) Posters must be judged anonymously and posters with a recognizable name on them could be excluded from the competition. So be humble and avoid putting your name on the poster. 

5) We don't want to influence the judges in any possible way so we decided that poster entries shouldn't feature any logo. Please don't put any logo, even ours, on your poster. 

6) We're awarding only original works designed for this competition only. Please don't send us a poster you designed in the past for a client or for a different competition.

7) Try not to steal your idea from somewhere else! We had many cases of plagiarism spotted by our community in the past. If we don't recognize it, someone else might do it so avoid public shame by having ideas on your own. 

8) If you have any other doubt or if you have already tried to upload your work without success, we recommend you to check again the "How to Enter" page here.

Poster for Tomorrow Gender Equality Competition Deadline Extended for Sarajevo Film Festival! This week poster for tomorrow has good news for everyone! The good news for designers all around the world is that poster for tomorrow has extended the deadline for the Gender Equality competition for five more days until (July 15). This is because of the good news we’ve got for the people of Sarajevo - an exciting new collaboration between poster for tomorrow, Council of Europe and Sarajevo Film Festival. The 18th edition of the Sarajevo Film Festival takes place on 6-14 July 2012. In partnership with the Council of Europe, poster for tomorrow will host activities open to all ages and both sexes of the 100,000 visitors to the festival. Graphic design workshops and debates on gender equality will be open to children, young adults and adults. One of the goals of the collaboration is help people to enter this year’s poster for tomorrow competition, hence the global deadline extension. For children, there will be a workshop session organised in collaboration with local designers and NGOs. The aim is to stimulate their awareness about their human rights. For boys and girls, we’ll organize a debate about Gender Equality in everyday life. The discussion will be based on trying to find out ways in which we can show our mutual respect for each other. The results of the debate will be recorded for posterity in a co-created artwork. Finally for adults, there will be two workshop sessions to help anyone who wants to take part in our “Gender Equality Now!” competition. Local graphic designers, poets, writers, students will brainstorm together, debate and exchange ideas to find out how to best express their point of view on this major issue. The workshops will be led by Hervé Matine, co-founder and President of poster for tomorrow, together with leading Bosnian graphic designers Bojan Hadzihalilovic, Aleksandra Nina Knezevic, and representatives of local associations. (ULUPUBiH, Association of Applied Artists and Designers, SOS and Elfrkra). The Gender Equality competition is open until July 15 2012.
