Here it comes again! Our poster design competition returns this month where you could see your design used to promote our upcoming showcase, DGC Dance Show 15, in May!

Ahead of each dance show we open up our challenge to you, our fantastic DGC Dance community, to get your creative juices going to design our DGC Dance Show poster.

Read on to find out more and submit your design to us before the end of March. 😀

The winning design will receive a £60 voucher for DGC kpop dance classes plus 2 tickets to DGC Show 15, as well as having their design featured on all promotional material for the show (e.g. mailing list, Instagram & Facebook pages / events).

Competition guidelines / design brief

DGC Dance is a community of passionate K-Pop dancers and we run fun, friendly & relaxed K-Pop dance classes in central London with regular student dance showcases.

For this competition, you need to create a poster that will be used primarily in digital format on our website, social media (e.g. Instagram & Facebook) and sent to our mailing list. Target audience is fans of K-Pop and dance and the performers’ family and friends.

For the poster you need to:
– capture the sense of the fun, friendly & relaxed atmosphere of the DGC community, classes & shows
– choose a good combination of typography, colours (& optionally any photos) which make the text clear & clean so it’s easy to read
– use all lowercase for the website address

The poster must include the following details (event name, event description, venue, date & website address):

DGC Dance Show 15
London K-Pop Dance Showcase
Stratford Circus Arts Centre
