EUROPEAN COMMISSION – EUROPE DAY CONTEST 2010 – EUROPE

Design a Poster for Europe Day Contest 2010 – European Commission – Europe

Introduction: She’s one classy old lady, with a colourful past and a challenging future. But what does Europe mean to you today? What exactly is it that you love about Europe and the European Union? And how would you express your feelings? If you’re a graphic designer or a graphic design student, we would like you to show Europe some love for the EU’s 2010 Europe Day poster.

Eligibility: The competition is aimed at young people with an interest in graphic design. You must be an EU resident and born after 1985. You don’t have to prove your age and residency when you submit your poster, but you will be asked to do so if you get to the finals.

Abstract Submission: It’s easy. Just send your work electronically (via the competition website) before 2400GMT + 2 (midnight Brussels time) on 30 November 2009. You can use the JPG, GIF format, but if you reach the final 12 stage you will be asked to send your project in PDF and InDesign format so that high-definition prints can be made. The file must be no larger than 3MB (megabyte). You must provide your name, address, telephone number, date of birth and e-mail address. The contest complies with EU provisions on user privacy.
Awards: This contest is organised by the European Commission. If your poster is chosen, it will be translated into the EU’s 23 official languages and distributed in all 27 EU countries. You will also be invited to Brussels for an award ceremony to coincide with Europe Day celebrations. But that’s not all. Designs will be judged by a jury of high-profile European designers and communication experts, the eventual winner receiving €2 000 and the two runners-up each receiving €1 000.

Rules: The competition is organised in two phases:
All submitted projects will be evaluated by a European jury which will select the 12 best designs. The 12 best designs will then be published on the competition website, where members of the public will be able to vote for their favourite. The jury will have no influence on the choice of the final winner.

Selection Procedure: The 12 finalists will be selected in December and will receive a letter to that effect. The online public vote will be held throughout January 2010.

Deadline: 30 November 2009
