Get Your Society Event on Guild Screens

Want to see your event up on the Guild’s big screens? Here’s everything you need to know.

How to Submit

[Please note that we need at least 5 working days’ notice before your event to display it.]


Design Requirements

  • File type: JPG
  • Size: 1080 x 1920px (portrait - same size as an Instagram story)
  • Words: Max 25 words (keep it short!)
  • Readable in 10 seconds from a distance


Must Include

  • Society name & logo
  • Event name/description
  • Date, time & location
  • Clear call to action (Get tickets or Sign Up)
  • Link/QR code for more info
  • Cost of tickets - e.g. free or paid

⚠️ One event per society at a time can be live on screens. You cannot use the screen to advertise memberships.


Good vs. Bad Example

Good screen

  • Clear title: Quiz Night – Tue 10 Oct, The Ram Bar, 7pm | Come alone and join a team or bring your mates | Tickets £2 per person
  • Large text, easy to read from a distance
  • Simple graphic + society logo
  • Sign up via Fixr (include a shortlink)

Bad screen

  • Too much text (paragraphs of info)
  • Tiny font
  • No date/time/location
  • Fuzzy or stretched images
  • No clear identity for what society this event is hosted by


✨ Top tip: Design like it’s a poster you’ll see while walking past quickly. If you can’t read it in 10 seconds, simplify it.

⚠️ If your screen does not meet the above criteria we will ask you to edit your artwork and resubmit.
