If you believe in the importance of sustainability and of international consensus-based solutions, then this contest is for you. Design a winning poster and get published in ISO’s flagship magazine, ISO Focus+ (www.iso.org/isofocusplus).

Since the 1992 Earth Summit many more people have become aware of the importance of creating a sustainable world, and of the fact that doing so requires practical global solutions. Which is why, as the Rio+20 summit draws nearer, ISO standards are proving increasingly attractive.

To highlight this commitment ISO is dedicating the January 2012 issue of its magazine ISO Focus+ to sustainability. With a winning poster entry, you can be a part of it too!

Show us how you think ISO standards can make a positive contribution with a poster featuring a design, drawing, cartoon, photo, etc. created by you (any type of image, drawn or otherwise, is accepted as long as they are created by the authors). You can include a slogan consisting of no more than 140 characters including spaces.

Requirements:

A3 format (297 x 420 mm)
PDF [High resolution PDF (X1/a or Press Quality)] or
JPG [High resolution JPG (Maximum quality 12)]
Must have rights to images used
Address the theme of sustainability and standards
English or French (max.: 140 characters including spaces)
And most importantly: Have fun!
Deadline for submission: 15 November, 2011 (Hurry!)
