Exchange Mart Table Requirement: You must display a poster when hosting a table.
Poster requirements:
Posters must be in place at the Exchange Mart by 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Only one poster per association/organization.
Please keep in mind that all posters must be “homemade”. Any posters thought to be professionally done will be eliminated.
Posters will be judged on the following:
-
General Appearance
- Is it attention-getting?
- Is it done neatly?
- Does it catch the eye of the passerby?
- Does it retain your interest enough to read the entire content?
-
Originality
- How do you present your subject matter?
-
Clarity/Identity
- How easy is it to tell who submitted the entry?
- Does it meet size requirements of 30” x 40”?
Note: posters must be exactly this size and no tri-fold boards. Anything overhanging the edge of the poster
will disqualify the poster, as it will no longer meet the size criteria.
- How well do you express the theme?
