Dalston-Dubai

DIFF Poster competition

Unless you go digging, this is the sort of opportunity we miss out on in Dubai, competitions don't seem to be advertised well here and so deadlines pass before anyone realises, and the standard of entries stay low. So here's a chance to up the design level and perhaps get your poster displayed across the region and tickets to the Dubai International Film Festival...

The DIFF Poster Competition is part of the Festival’s community outreach, and is intended to give the UAE’s creative community – including designers, advertising professionals, artists and other committed Festival- goers – more and deeper linkages to DIFF. The juried competition is open to any individual practicing art across the UAE, whether student or self-taught, full-time or part-time, professional or hobbyist, working in any medium or style.

All entries should be submitted prior to December 3, 2010
