Student Poster Design Guidelines

This may seem like a simple poster-making contest.
But deep down, it’s about helping students think, reflect, and express something meaningful.
Along the way, they practice skills like storytelling, clarity, and thoughtful communication.
These are the quiet foundations of long-term success.
