9.6 UPDATE: There are now two ways to compete. All participants must still register by September 27th. We are in the process of updating our Terms and Conditions to reflect this update.
The Final Design Path: Registered participants can compete by submitting their final designs by October 20th. If a finalized design is selected as a finalist, they will become eligible to receive a $2,500 finalist fee and their design will move forward for consideration as the official host city poster.
The Portfolio and Design Concept Path: Registered participants can also compete by submitting a portfolio of their previous work and a concept statement for the poster design they will submit. If a Portfolio + Design Concept is selected, the participant must agree to create a finalized design and submit it within 3 weeks. If the finalized design meets the design guidance and is submitted on time, the participant would become eligible to receive a $2,500 finalist fee, and their design will move forward for consideration as the official host city poster.
