ISLAMABAD:Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO) has announced the Poster Making Contest 2024 for students across the country under the theme of “Space Travel”, to showcase their creativity and skills.
Each year SUPARCO arranges Poster Competition as part of its participation in the Asia-Pacific Regional Space Agency Forum (APRSAF).
According to an official of SUPARCO, the contest is open to students aged 6 to 12, with eligibility determined based on birth dates between January 1, 2012, and December 31, 2018.
Students from various schools across the country are encouraged to participate, with each school allowed to submit up to three posters.
About the guidelines, the official informed that the participants must adhere to specific guidelines to ensure their entries qualify for consideration.
Each poster must be the work of a single student and be submitted through their respective schools.
The deadline for submission is set for September 20, 2024, and no late entries will be accepted.
It is crucial for participants to follow the instructions carefully, including attaching a fully completed submission form to the back of the poster and ensuring no personal information appears on the front.
