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. Keep these tips in mind:
    • ensure good lighting to avoid shadows
    • make sure the poster fills the entire screen - an overhead shot, taken directly above the poster, is often the best option
    • ensure the photo matches the orientation of the poster – if the poster is in landscape format, take the photo horizontally. If it’s in portrait format, take the photo vertically
    • avoid using flash, as it can cause glare

Judging

Winners will be chosen by:

  • how well does the poster communicate the National Water Week poster competition theme, ‘Water Heroes: Save Every Drop' 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
