Feeling Creative? Want to Promote Mars Advocacy? Participate in the 2014 Mars Society Poster Contest!
The 2014 Mars Society Poster Contest is now underway! The winning design will serve as the primary graphic for promoting the 17th Annual International Mars Society Convention, to be held in League City, Texas (outside Houston), August 7-10, 2014.
When designing posters, participants are asked to use the theme of the 2014 convention: “Blazing the Path to Mars.” The poster should seek to emphasize various efforts
to drive and promote the human exploration and settlement of the Red Planet.
The winner will receive free admission to all sessions of the Mars Society convention, including the main convention banquet. [Airfare and hotel accommodations are not included.]
The deadline for submitting poster designs is Monday, March 31, 2014 at 5:00 p.m. EST.
With regard to technical requirements for the contest, the size of the poster should be 11″ x 17″. There are no restrictions on color, however if your poster is chosen, in addition to a full color poster, the Mars Society will need a gray-scale copy. Posters can be submitted as a .pdf file, although it is preferred in the original format (i.e., Photoshop).
To submit your design, please e-mail the sample to: postercontest@marssociety.org. Please also use this e-mail address for any inquiries regarding the contest and/or the submission process.
