Sounds Great

Sounds like a great plan! Small competitions like this create some competitiveness amongst theatre groups. There are some awesome graphic artist's creating programs and posters for productions. They need some regonition. Chookas to all who enter ~ Tari The Writer is a child forever listening at the keyhole of the adult world.

Bearing in mind Norma's plea...

Will companies be penalised for not including the year of the production on their poster design? freddie the rocking jedi badger

I cannot see why they should

Whilst I understand Norma's point and it's a very valid one, the idea was to encourage a higher standard of print publicity and programmes. So often it costs very little more to produce a programme that looks exciting and 'professional', take Grads new production, A Laughing Matter, that poster costs the same to print as any other colour poster, it's in the design which in this case is very good. I only mention this poster because I noticed it at Playlovers on Saturday, not for any other reason (to my knowledge they haven't entered it anyway).

Great poster

Thanks Alan The poster for A Laughing Matter was put together by Grant Watson and I agree it looks fantastic! It has certainly gained us a lot of attention. Now that you've reminded us about this we will enter the competition. It'll be good for the hard working publicity people enjoy to get some recognition for a change. Now I'm going to try to get some sleep. Weekend before opening is always really, really tiring zzzzzzzzzzzzz
