TDC2 2006 : Entry Formats

Entries are to be submitted as 11x17" or A3 (297x420 mm) unmounted (600 dpi laser minimum) paper proofs. Please submit each individual or constituent font-showing as a separate sheet. Each proof should show the typeface in whatever way the entrant deems appropriate. Proofs may include, but are not limited to, headlines, short or long passages of text, sample pages or double-page spreads of book or magazine make-up, or multi-column text. The requirements for proofs are:

Character showings

Proofs should show a complete character set. In the case of complex extended multi-script character sets, insure that the showing is comprehensive enough to allow the jury to judge the design appropriately.

Complex system showings

Submissions of text and display Type Super-families, including digital fonts produced in Multiple Master or OpenType formats, should follow the above guidelines, but may feature more than one font or style in each showing.

Marking of Entries

Entries must be clearly marked, in the front, upper left-hand corner, with the appropriate Family, Competition, Script, and Design categorizations.

Examples:

• Family; Text; Latin; Original
• Single; Display; Greek; Authorized Extension of a Latin typeface
• Superfamily, Type system; Latin, Greek, Cyrillic; Custom faces for an international corporation.

Non-identification

To ensure anonymous and fair judgement of entries, the names of the typeface, designer, client, manufacturer or distributor must not appear anywhere on the front or on the back of the proof.
