It may also be a good idea if you can tell us a few details about how
the posters are going to be printed.
That way if they use images, they can be provided to you with a
reasonable dpi setting, and we know if we should stick to solid
colors/line art or if photos will work as well.
Yes, clarif very helpful if poss! I've spoken with 1 volunteer artist
who is very concerned her artwork will be cut off around the edges, she
writes:
/O//fficial instructions didn't mention bleed, but to play safe I will
add on a few mm around the edges and hope they cut back to the stated
size. If the bleed was unnecessary, no matter. If they enlarge it and
then cut to size (cutting off part of the design), *I shall be pissed
:-)*//I fear that's what they will do, though, since they are receiving
contributions from people not familiar with making posters for print./

Thanks. I've modified the line to read:
All artwork and lettering must be original. Copyrighted material may
not be used without permission. We request that you make your work
available under a shareable license such as Creative Commons or GNU
Free Documentation License.
which includes the intent of resharing.
Bruce,
Does that work?
