The poster you design should be motivating and visual. With few words and strong graphics, it should get people thinking and make them want to act to change things for the better.
Posters should address one of the following themes:
- Giving young people a voice in the government decision process.
- Opportunity for all! (Everyone deserves access to good schools, good health care, good jobs, a decent salary, a healthy environment, etc…)
- Including more voices and more diverse voices in government decisions creates societies that are fairer to all.
- Improving everyone’s well-being results in a stronger society than just concentrating on more material wealth (GDP).
- The negative effects of income inequality on society.
- An idea for reducing income inequality.
- Changing the rules to help everyone have access to a better life.
- Encouraging government to listen to everyone, not just to those with the most power and influence.
- Getting involved in school, neighbourhood, community or larger organisations to make things better, such as providing better services.
Technical requirements
Posters may be created digitally or traditionally (on paper). If you create a digital poster, the file should be sent to IGPoster@oecd.org in the form of a high-resolution (300 dpi) PDF file (for technical reasons, we can only accept PDF files).
Files sent by email must not exceed 30 MB in size. If your file is larger, you may use transfer services such as wetransfer.com or hightail.com (no subscription is required the last time we checked).
If you create a traditional handmade poster, you may send it by postal mail to the street address below (please leave plenty of time for delivery prior to the deadline). Make sure that your poster is 100 cm x 70 cm and is appropriately protected when shipped. Please keep in mind that original artwork cannot be returned. You may also send us a digital image of your handmade poster. The resulting image must be of high quality, without glare, shadows, distortion or other aspects affecting reproduction quality if enlarged.
Digital files must be prepared for a final printing size of 100 cm x 70 cm. The OECD reserves the right to exclude any posters that do not meet the technical requirements.
