RIH Day Infographics

Submit your idea proposal via Google Forms by February 2, 2024.

If you were accepted as an RIH Day participant, the next step is to prepare digital copies of your infographic and email it to DHSSLibrary@delaware.gov no later than April 5, 2024.

Save your infographic TWICE: 
1) as a PDF file
2) as a picture file (JPG or PNG)

NOTE:

  • Information presented on your infographic should be approved for the public to see - copies will be made available on the library's blog and shared with partners.
  • Do not include your name(s) on the infographic. This allows for fairness in judging.
  • When you submit your infographic, please include the names of each author in the order you would like them to appear on our blog and Kaleidoscope. Please confirm spelling as well as any titles (e.g., MD). This should be in the body of your email, NOT on the infographic.

Infographics are graphic visual representations of information, data, or knowledge intended to present information quickly and clearly. Their design makes it easier to grasp complicated concepts and subjects quickly.

Check out our subject guide: "Designing Infographics" for tips, software, and copyright information

Judges from outside organizations and DHSS leaders have been selected to review the digital copies of the infographics between April 8 - 15, 2024. We’re also asking DHSS employees to share their vote. 1st, 2nd, 3rd place and People's Choice winners will be selected in each category.
