The Portland Zine Symposium is looking for art submissions for the 2010 poster. This year’s theme is “Zine Arcade” The guidelines are simple – PZS is looking for a 11″ wide x 17″ tall poster that will also be used in other formats (the web, post cards, buttons, stickers, etc), so your design needs to be visible and striking at multiple sizes and resolutions (or have smaller, breakaway pieces). Limit your colors to black, white and one other color. Submission deadline is March 15th. For more guidelines or other info, email pdxzines@gmail.com or visit www.pdxzines.com.
