FAQ
• Un-mounted Proof
• The proofs should be approximately 594 x 420mm (A2). DO NOT SEND OVERSIZED
PRINTS. Entries are presented to the jury in A2 sized folders.
• Oversized prints will not be accepted and will have to be replaced at the
entrant’s cost. Proofs which are too big and not replaced will have to be folded,
which negatively affects the presentation of your work.
• Please do not tape campaigns together accordion-style.
• Please do not wrap entries individually. Entries are presented to the jury in folders,
so each entry print must go individually in to its own sleeve. Provided that you fill out
the campaign details on you entry form, the entries will be seen in succession.
• Please provide translations for non-English entries. Entries that are not in English
should be translated or accompanied by a full translation, which can be added
online when registering your entries. It will be in your own interest to explain or
translate any specific word play or local, social, cultural or political references and
nuances.
• Digital Image
• Digital images must be uploaded via the website (5-15MB) at the time of entry
submission. JPGS must meet the following specifications: 300 dpi, CMYK and A2 in
size. Please name all images with the title of the entry.
