Posters promote organisational wide communication and awareness of LGBT inclusion. We found that this was an area of development for many organisations that participated in the Australian Workplace Equality Index. Many companies have a "kitchen poster culture" and some of our award winners used posters and postcards to promote the existence of an LGBT network within kitchens. Posters were also used to promote LGBT inclusion within diversity training, at orientation days and at diversity events, LGBT network events and recruitment events. We are hoping that this competition will encourage you to create your own posters / postcards for the organisational wide communication of your LGBT initiatives and/or your networks. We are also hoping that seeing the designs of others will inspire and motivate you. And of course, there's always the joy of winning !
Who can enter? Member and non-member organisations.
Can we submit posters/postcards already in use? Absolutely.
Are we limited to one? Absolutely not.
Does it have to be a particular size or format? Any size is fine, if you prefer a postcard size, that's fine. .JPG format preferred.
When does it need to be in by and when will the winner be announced? Needs to be in by November 20, 2011, announced 30th November, 2011.
Where will our poster be displayed? On the Pride in Diversity Website (once all entries have been received), on the Pride in Diversity facebook page (ongoing), in our Pride in Diversity Newsletter (ongoing).
Who are the judges? The number of "Likes" and comments that each poster receives on our Facebook page will be taken into consideration, but that will not be the sole means of judging. Anybody can vote, however you will not be able to vote for your own organisations poster. Final say will be with the Pride in Diversity team. That being said, the earlier you get your poster in, the better.
How do we vote? A document containing all posters will be distributed after the competition has officially closed. You can then submit your votes by email or phone.
What do we win? A Pride in Diversity merchandise inclusion pack and of course, the sheer glory of winning ! :). We've also decided to include one free entry to our PRIDE IN PRACTICE LGBT Workplace Conference on 29th November. So get those entries in ! Don't need to be a member to participate.
What do we need to do?

Changes to the law introducing equal treatment for people in same-sex relationships were a long time coming. This seminar is your chance to really take advantage of those changes.
Superannuation, investments and estate planning are topics that most people find difficult to navigate, but the recent legislative change gives people in same-sex relationships fair and equitable access to the same financial rights as others.
This seminar, proudly sponsored by PwC will be conducted by experts from PwC’s Private Clients team. There will be opportunities to ask questions and time for drinks and canapés with LGBT representatives from many different organisations across the corporate and public sectors.
Targeted towards those in same sex relationships wanting to know about their entitlements and the questions that they should ask, as well as HR managers requiring information on how to assist those questioning equitable access. We hope you can join us.
