Guidelines for Virtual Poster Presentation

---

PREPARATION OF THE POSTER

Due to the virtual nature of the conclave, we are only accepting Electronic Posters (E-Posters) in PDF format. Printed posters or photographs of printed posters will NOT be accepted.

Poster Submission Deadline: 25th November 1st December 2021

The poster should be a clear visual presentation on the topic of climate change and sustainable future and should meet the following criteria:

Title of the Poster

• It is recommended to keep the title of the poster self-explanatory.

Poster size and format

• The poster must be submitted in PDF format.
• It is recommended to make your poster in PowerPoint (Landscape or Portrait) and then save it as a PDF before uploading it to the DDC website.
• Make sure that you do not exceed the limit of 1 slide/page for your E-Poster.

Your Information

• The top of the Poster should display, in the lettering of Bold (Times New Roman), the following information: Title of your paper, Name(s) of the Author(s) and Affiliation(s).

Lettering

• Kindly use both UPPER and lower case letters for general content, as all-capital text is difficult to read.
• It is recommended to use Times New Roman font style for the content of the poster.
• Make sure there is enough contrast between the colour of the text and the poster’s background.
• Text and presentation should be in ENGLISH only.

Content of the Poster

• Ensure that the specific sections (such as the background, methods, results, and conclusions) are easy to locate in the poster.
• Try to keep the text easy to read and concise. The poster should have a clear message, a logical layout and be easy to comprehend.
• Avoid the use of complete sentences and instead, use short text in bullet point format.
• Avoid using watermarks that may detract from the readability of your poster.

Illustrations

• Illustrations are the most critical part of the poster and will attract the most attention.
• Colourful charts and graphs are the easiest to read. Explanatory illustrations should be used instead of text whenever possible.
• Use only static images, and do not embed any videos or animation in your poster.
• Try to utilise the space on your poster as creatively as possible to attract the audience and make sure that the images are easy to understand.
