Submitting entries can take time. Be sure to allow yourself adequate time to upload and submit your entries in advance of the 5pm, 3 March closing date. It will not be possible to submit entries after this closing date. Make sure entries are assigned to the correct age category and that each team entry has a corresponding poster submitted.When you are submitting your posters, please remember the following:
• [The name of the uploaded file must correspond to the poster title] {#FF5C5C} The name of the uploaded file must correspond to the poster title.• Maximum poster file size is 1MB• Only files of the type png, jpg, jpeg, gif, pdf are allowed.If a file fails to upload it will be due to either the file exceeding the upload size or else the file is saved in the wrong format.If a file exceeds 1MB try reducing the file size. The use of images in a poster can increase the file size substantially. Try using low-res imagery or compress the images before they are used in the poster. Reducing the image size can also help.If the images are already compressed, try compressing the file using the following tools:PDF/Word/Jpeg compressor → https://www.wecompress.com/en/
