PROMISE FOR THE PLANET POSTER COMPETITION
EARTH HOUR 2019: 30   At 8.30pm on Saturday 30 March 2019 hundreds of millions of people

MARCH 8:30PM          across the world will be turning out their lights and coming together to
                      celebrate Earth Hour. It’s a time to show we care about our world and a
                      symbolic reminder that the future of our planet hangs in the balance.

                      We’re asking everyone who takes part in Earth Hour to make an
                      individual promise for the planet. There are so many simple things that
                      pupils can do such as refusing plastic cutlery in their school canteen,
                      cycling or walking to school, or even growing fruit and vegetables in
                      their school grounds.

COMPETITION ASK:      We would like your pupils to design a poster showcasing their very own
                      individual promise for the planet. The winning posters will be displayed
                      on Edinburgh City Centre bus shelters and digital screens on selected
                      Lothian buses from 1st March up to Earth Hour 2019. We'll be looking
                      for designs that will inspire the people of Edinburgh to make their own
                      promise for the planet. One winner from each category will win the
                      following:
                         Their poster displayed on Edinburgh City Centre bus shelters and
                          digital screens on selected Lothian buses from 1st March up to Earth
                          Hour 2019.
                         One WWF species adoption of their choice for their classroom to run
                          for one year.

COMPETITION DATES:    The competition runs from 8 January to 5pm Friday, 1 February 2019.
WHO CAN APPLY?           The competition is open to pupils who are Edinburgh residents,
                         attending an Edinburgh school on the closing date of the competition –
                         Friday 1 February 2019.

                         To enter, pupils will need to produce a print or digital poster (A4 or A3,
                         landscape or portrait) sharing their promise for the planet. There are
                         five age categories based on the curriculum levels and there will be one
                         winner from each age category. Please use the Earth Hour Promise
                         for the Planet poster competition entry form below and ensure a
                         copy of the entry form accompanies all entries to the competition.

THE TASK:                Pupils are invited to design a poster to show their promise for the planet
                         across one of four themes:
                            Fight against plastic pollution
                            Fight for our wildlife
                            Fight to tackle climate change
                            Fight to fix our food system
                         Posters will be judged on creativity and clarity of message.

TOP TIPS:                   Use bold lines and big fonts
                            Don’t use high-visibility colours (like hi-viz yellow); as these posters
                             are road-side we can’t distract drivers too much!
                            Fill the paper with your design

POSTER SPECIFICATIONS:   Posters must be
                                Either A3 or A4 in size
                                Portrait or landscape orientation
                                Produced by one pupil only
                                Static – no moving images
                         For display reasons, posters should be finished with bold lines as designs
                         with thin, faint, or small details may not enlarge and reproduce well to
                         the size of the final posters. Posters must be accompanied by the
                         competition entry form.
