Design Competition SV
The last way you could get an SV slot is by winning either the virtual background design contest or postcard design contest. Following the trend, we will be having customized virtual backgrounds for the conference. Also, we are pleased to announce postcards to be sent to all the SVs as souvenirs!
The selection process is as follows. After an initial selection made by the SV chairs, a subset of the Organizing Committee and past SV Chairs vote on which design is their favorite in both the categories. We can have a minimum of one person or a maximum of two persons as winners of the design competition.
The winner will also have reduced volunteer hours.
Design Themes
Design around themes like going virtual, the Internet, sustainability, or solidarity. We encourage you to use the colors on the website and in the CSCW logo. Please do not forget to include the CSCW logo in your design.
You can find the .ai and .svg files here.
