DIFF Official 2015 Entry Rules
POSTER
Poster Category
Note: There are TWO Categories for the poster submission: One for
Elementary and One for Secondary
Film Posters can be made about either a completely fictitious movie (one that doesn't
exist) or about a DIFF submission. This second option will allow students to make movie
posters about their own or their friends’ movie. Posters must be made of completely
original ideas and images.
Rules and Criteria: Must be formatted in 8” by 10” ratio at 300 dpi. Judging will be
based on the quality of the image, the design concept and the overall visual impact.

Student posters are those that are created, designed, planned and technically
executed entirely by students. The involvement of parents, teachers and
professionals is limited to noncreative roles (e.g., technical advice, funding).
Only students from Delta Schools are eligible. For mixed grade students, entry
level is determined by the highest grade of all students involved with the poster.
Non-students may be used as models/characters.
Posters must have been completed within the current school year.
We are accepting 3 entries from each elementary school and 3 entries from each
secondary school. EACH ENTRY MUST BE ON A SEPARATE ENTRY FORM.
Each entry must be certified by a classroom teacher as being the work of the
student(s).
Technical Requirements
• Posters must be submitted as either a j.peg or a PDF file to:
[email protected] no later than May 15 at 4 p.m. The Delta Interschool
Film Festival will keep all copies. By entering the festival, you are granting DIFF

educational purposes
