The portrait orientation will require a redesign of your horizontally-oriented event graphics.

However, if you have 11x17 posters already made, we can fit this format into the 1080x1920 vertical space with minimal black bars on top and bottom of the 11x17.

Please note: we will not accept standard horizontal graphics to fit onto the vertical screens.
