Tips for uploading a poster

Please ensure only high resolution, high quality images are submitted
Image files should be in .JPG, .PDF or .PNG formats
Uploaded files are limited to 20MB
Original posters can either be scanned or photographed
Remember if taking a photo, please ensure a clear, non-blurred image is taken. Think about:

good lighting
ensuring the poster fills the entire screen, an overhead shot is often best as you are standing above the poster, looking down
avoiding flash, as if a glossy poster, you will get glare

how well does the poster communicate the National Water Week poster competition theme, ‘Water for all, inspiring action' and/or relevant water-related issues
how attractive does it look from a distance
have art materials been used effectively
does the poster use innovative imagery, design or concepts
