The Victorian AIDS Council/ Gay Men’s Health Centre (VAC/GMHC) has just launched its inaugural World AIDS Day Poster Design Competition.
The aim of the competition is to increase awareness in the general community about HIV in Victoria.
Students and recent graduates of art and design courses across the state are invited to submit entries to the competition, with the winning poster becoming the visual identity of VAC/GMHC’s World AIDS Day campaign for 2011. The posters will promote the theme of VAC/GMHC’s World AIDS Day Campaign, ‘Inform yourself, educate others’.
As part of the organisation’s promotional activities during AIDS Awareness Week (November 24 – December 1, 2011) the winning poster will appear in Yarra Trams, in print advertising and online. 20 short-listed entries will also be exhibited in the Atrium area of Federation Square from the 29th November – 3rd December 2011.
Participating in the competition is a great way to learn about HIV and how it affects Victorians – the competition pack includes an HIV fact sheet and all materials relating the competition are available for download at www.vicaids.asn.au, where there is also a wealth of information about HIV and STIs.
The competition judging panel, made up of creative professionals will be looking for creative and original works that respond to the theme with particular attention paid to thought process and execution.
With $5, 500.00 worth of prizes to win and great exposure for short-listed and winning entries, this competition offers a fantastic opportunity to tackle a complex visual communication task. How will Victoria’s graphic design students and recent graduates take on this challenging and exciting project aimed at ‘Putting HIV back in the frame’?
Entries will be accepted from the 11th of July and close at 5pm on the 2nd of September 2011. All information about the competition, including technical specifications is available at www.vicaids.asn.au
