__TOC__

To ensure quality and consistency in competition entries, participants need to follow a standard format. The technical and formal requirements are detailed below:

== 1. Accepted formats ==
* '''Vector:''' Vector format is recommended for final work because it scales without losing quality. Accepted formats are:
** '''.AI (Adobe Illustrator)'''
** '''.EPS (Encapsulated PostScript)'''
** '''.SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics)'''
* '''Other formats:''' Participants using other graphics software, such as CorelDRAW, must export their work to one of the accepted vector formats: .AI, .EPS or .SVG.

== 2. Dimensions and scalability ==
* '''Vector:''' Vector files must be fully scalable without loss of quality. All design elements must be vectorised, with no raster images embedded in the design.

== 3. Colours and palette ==
* '''Colour model:''' Participants may work in any colour model: '''CMYK''' is used for print, and '''RGB''' for digital use. Providing both versions is optional.
* '''Monochrome versions:''' Each design may have a black-and-white version retaining the legibility and clarity of its elements in print and at small sizes.
* '''Maximum number of colours:''' Entries may use up to 5 colours plus white and black, excluding shades of grey in monochrome work, to keep designs simple and usable across print and digital media.
* '''Palette:''' Use colours symbolic or traditional to the locality where these exist. Combinations should be harmonious and provide enough contrast for visual clarity.

== 4. Graphic structure and composition ==
* '''Visual clarity:''' Entries must be recognisable and memorable even at small sizes. Avoid overloading the design with complex details that become illegible when reduced.
* '''Vector elements:''' All shapes, lines and design elements must be fully vectorised. Avoid bitmap images and textures that could lose quality when scaled.
* '''Avoid complex gradients:''' Gradients can cause printing difficulties, so avoid complex gradients where possible. Designs should also work without shading, reflections or other effects that may be difficult to print.

== 5. Typography ==
* '''Fonts and lettering:''' If a design includes text, use legible fonts and convert all text to outlines, avoiding font-compatibility problems on other devices.
* '''Accepted fonts:''' Fonts must be clear and reflect the design's theme. Simple, modern fonts are recommended; traditional or historical fonts may suit the locality's identity in the right context.
* '''Text size:''' Text must remain visible and easy to read at small sizes, for example 1.5–2 cm in height. All letters must be clear and retain the correct proportions when scaled.

== 6. Other technical requirements ==
* '''No complex backgrounds:''' Avoid backgrounds that distract from the main design. Keep the design clear and focused on its key elements.
* '''No watermarks or personal logos:''' Participants must not put personal logos, watermarks or other identifying elements on their designs.
* '''Margins and safe areas:''' Allow a safe margin of at least 2–5 mm around the entire composition to ensure correct printing without cutting off important elements.

== 7. Presenting entries ==
* '''Main file:''' Deliver the final file in the specified vector or bitmap format, meeting the resolution and size requirements.
* '''Mock-ups:''' It is recommended, but not compulsory, to include mock-ups showing the design in real contexts: posters, signs, equipment or promotional materials, for example.
* '''Design description:''' Each participant must provide a short description of 100–300 words explaining the concept, symbols used and their relevance to the competition's theme.
* '''Final versions:''' Supply at least two versions:
** '''Full colour.'''
** '''Monochrome (black and white).'''

== 8. Copyright and intellectual property ==
* '''Originality:''' All submitted work must be original and created exclusively by the participant. Work infringing copyright or containing copied elements will be disqualified.
* '''Licence:''' Winners must accept that their work will be used in the public domain and made available without commercial or non-commercial restrictions, under the competition rules.
* '''Required documents:''' Participants must complete a form assigning copyright in prize-winning work to the organisers.

== Conclusions ==
These technical and formal requirements support the quality, usability and originality of submitted work. The intended format emphasises clarity, versatility and professional design standards.
