Tips for success:
- Read all of the instructions on the AATSP Poster Contest 2020 site.
- “Posters will be judged on their visual impact, overall appealing effect, applicability to the theme, neatness, creativity, and originality.” AATSP Poster Contest 2020 site
Tell your students that they should produce a poster that is neat, clear, creative, and one that will look great in a photo. Small letters and details do not always show up clearly. They must include in writing both themes:
Español y Portugués para un mundo multilingüe y multicultural
Espanhol e Português para um mundo multilíngue e multicultural
Please take the time to examine your students’ posters to determine whether they have adhered to the rules. Also, check for spelling and grammatical errors! - Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
Thank you for your participation in this amazing contest!
Best wishes,
