Mini Report
I took part in a contest to design an Earth Day poster that the UTM Green DNA Club organized. Since Earth Day falls on April 22 every year, the competition was held online over the month of April. As a member of the competition's organizing committee, I took the role of Multimedia & Technical Department. This contest's primary goal is to increase community awareness of the state of our cherished mother Earth. Taking care of and defending our mother Earth is a duty that falls on all of us.
We had prepared for this competition by having our director, Ng Jun Kiat, conduct a group meeting with us to review the details of this competition. After that, we proceeded to develop the competition proposal so that it would be approved by the club Advisor, Prof. Lee, as well as the UTM I-league. We had to wait a long time for clearance, but we still started the tournament on time. My multimedia department partner and I created a poster and published it on every internet channel to promote our Earth Day Poster Competition to all UTM students. We had also planned some rewards for the winner.
One week before to Earth Day, participants have the entire time to register and submit their posters. We continue to spread news about our competition to everyone at UTM throughout this time. Finally, after the submission deadline had passed, we had gathered every participant's poster through a Google Form, and we were going to send it to our club's club advisers for evaluation. Additionally, we made the decision to include a further form of assessment in which we will put participant posters on our club's Instagram account. The winner will also receive the gifts that our club has provided and will be the poster with the most likes. Three days was the time limit we had set for the evaluation.
All of the committees were ecstatic since the competition went off without a hitch. We also wanted to thank all of the participants, as well as our club advisor, Prof Lee, for her support.
Reflection
I worked with my team as one of the committees for the Earth Day Poster Competition in order to hold this competition. We made the decision to hold the competition one week before the Earth Day, which falls on April 22. We intended to give each participant a week to create and submit their poster to us.
Jie En and I have been tasked with creating two posters to advertise our competition to all UTM students in our capacity as the Multimedia & Technical Department. To encourage people to participate in our competition, we will utilise both of these posters. My boyfriend and I have thus agreed that we would each create a poster and incorporate all the information inside the poster. Additionally, I had asked my director for some samples of posters that had been created for prior events so that we could use them as a guide. After that, Jie En and I will exchange our posters with one another to check if anything was overlooked. Prior to using these posters to advertise our competition through an internet platform, we will present it to our director and other committees for their review. The process of creating the poster taught me that it's not simple to fit all the information on one sheet, and that we must be creative in order to do it.
Additionally, it was asked of our department to prepare certificates for each participant and the committees. When Jie En and I were designing the certificate for this competition, we also used some references from earlier certificates. This time, Jie En and I decided to use two different designs for the committee certificate and both participants. While Jie En will be created for the participants, I will be created for the committee's certificate. After a few days of creating, we were satisfied with our design and began to put in the names and matric numbers of each committee and participant within the certificate. We insert their information slowly out of concern that we could enter the incorrect name or matric number of them. Additionally, we'll go over each certificate several times to make sure that the name and matric number are all accurate.
Finally, I was pleased that the tournament went well and that a lot of people participated. I've had an opportunity to see a variety of Earth Day poster designs, and I really like several of them. I want to express my gratitude to my director, my partner, and the rest of the organizing committee for their efforts in making this competition possible. As a member of the organizing committee, I genuinely learn a lot from this tournament.
