Poster Design

The 2012 HOW Poster Design Awards deadline has passed.  Thank you to everyone who entered.  Click here to check out the winners.

There are no categories, and it doesn’t matter if your poster was created for yourself, for work or just for fun…we want to see what you can do! So take this wide-open media and run with it—then make sure you submit your work to us.  This competition is now in the judging phase.  We will be notifying the winners soon.

Don’t forget, HOW Interactive and HOW International competitions are now accepting entries!
