Approval and distribution
Please email a digital copy of your marketing for approval and to check for board availability. We have a specific distribution policy and will require a total of 33 copies.
It is recommend that you bring your paper advertisement at least two weeks before your event. It takes a while for the posters to be approved and distributed. You are welcome to bring the posters up sooner, but anything less than two weeks might not give your event enough time to be promoted. We take all posters down the day after the event. If you have an information flier, we will keep it for two weeks after approval.
