Poker Chip Design Guidelines and Parameters
The purpose of this contest is to design a poker chip to be used by Poker Power for game kits and games.
The Poker Chip’s design should reflect the values and mission of Poker Power. Empowering women is at the forefront of our minds at every moment. With approachable lessons and experts, women hone not only fundamental game strategy skill sets but also critical life and career skills around risk management, negotiation, and decision-making. Women belong at every table from the classroom to the boardroom. Entries should incorporate the passion of empowering women within it for maximum impact.
The Poker Chip design should not incorporate overt references to poker. Think about inspirational, empowering designs that go beyond the poker table and into other arenas of life. Entries must be submitted as JPEG files. For quality reproduction purposes, the winning entry must later be submitted in scalable vector graphic format (EPS). Color must be CMYK, though the design may also be produced in black and white. Contestants are advised to avoid gradients and half-tones. The design file must be easy to use, handle, resize, and manipulate for all reproduction purposes. It should be visually appealing on both small (as small as 2 cm x 2 cm) and large scales.
