Submission closes Sunday 11:59PM September 28.

Design Guidelines

  • Design should fit size of 148mm x 210 mm. (put first as crucial to get size right and stating that it needs to be original work)
  • Only original designs will be considered.
  • Images to be supplied in either PDF or EPS format, CMYK colour space. PNG or JPG will also be considered, though not preferable.
  • Digital images only – no physical entries will be considered.
  • No gradients, shadows or any other effects to be applied; intricate designs will be harder to print – so aim to keep it simple and bold.
  • The Guild reserves the right to adjust the design for reproduction purposes.

You agree that if you win the contest, you authorise the use without additional compensation, for promotional purposes in any manner and in any medium (including without limitation the internet, written or email communications, brochures, videos, film, printing) that we deem appropriate. If it is discovered your work is someone’s other than your own, you understand you will be withdrawn from the competition, immediately forfeiting any prize.
