  • Submissions must be received in correctly written English with concise and clear wording
  • Applicants may only submit one poster to the competition
  • We would be pleased to know that the poster has been used or will be used in another venue, and we encourage the participant to prepare the poster so that it can be used elsewhere, rather than simply for this competition

  • The poster material can be mounted on these display boards using thumbtacks, which the participant should bring along with the poster materials. 
  • The participant is responsible for bringing the poster with them to the summit, for making sure that the poster display fits on the display board, and for attaching the individual elements to the display board according to our instructions and for removing the poster at the end of the summit on 31 May. Any posters that are not removed will be disposed of 
  • AIMed cannot be responsible for protection of the posters and poster materials during the competition or afterward. Any valuable materials or equipment should be monitored by the participant, who must accept responsibility for them
