We are looking for engaging visual “snapshots” of DH research in Cambridge to display in a poster exhibition which will be staged during the CDH Searching Questions symposium on 11 July 2018 and a gallery on our new website.
What’s required?
a poster which communicates your research to a non-specialist audience
an appealing design which has an immediate visual impact

Posters should be A1 or A0 size and can be either landscape or portrait format. Please send your entry by WeTransfer (https://wetransfer.com/) to admin@cdh.cam.ac.uk by 12 noon on 25 June. Please also send a separate email with your name, affiliation and poster title to the same email address.
Winners will be notified by 2 July and announced at the symposium on 11 July.
