Design Contest

Can You Hear Me Now? will also be holding an annual logo and poster design competition.  The winning design submission (pairing of logo and poster from the same group/artist) will be used for the subsequent year, and will be placed on, and used for, all official Can You Hear Me Now? materials, including registration packages and advertising posters, as well as any other items used to promote the competition.

The rules for the logo and poster design competition are as follows:

• Logo and poster designs must be gender neutral or gender balanced.
• Logo competition submissions must use only black and white
• Poster designs must be completed in black & white as well as any three other colours (but one of these three colours must be the colour of the poster paper)
