Hi Students,
I am organizing the Saturday night fashion show for this, below.
UCLA is offering prize money for the best poster.
--
UCLA LGBT Studies Poster Competition. Prize: $500.
Deadline: Monday July 25th, 2011
The topic of the conference is “Fashion” which we interpret very broadly to include the fashion industry, fashion history, and ways of ‘fashioning’ or making selves, families etc. You can put the word “Fashion” on the poster anywhere you want.
The poster should contain the following text.

We are hoping for a poster that is strongly multicultural. Other than that, we don’t have requirements for the style.
Size: 8 1/2 x 11
(Ideally, you would also be able to adjust it slightly so that it could be printed as either
11 x 17 or 8 ½ x 11.)
Send as a jpeg file to contact below. Should be available as a vector file with as high a resolution as possible. (It should allow us to blow the image up to larger poster size.)
Should be somewhat flexible so that you can, for example, add a name later if we need to.
You can see other examples of posters and can also get a sense of the papers presented at the conferences from--

I'm sketching out some ideas for this poster and I have a question with regards to what "multicultural" means here. Is it referring to different countries and civilizations? Or is it including different religions and sexual identities too?
Suri - I am not on selection committee nor did I write the Call for Designs. My suspicion is that they don't want a bunch of white people on the poster. But to be fair to all, you should interpret for yourself.
