NODA'S Programme and Poster Competition is without doubt one of the major competitions for amateur theatre in the UK. Its purpose is to encourage the highest standards in programme and poster design. Each Region holds its own competition, using the criteria set out below, with the winning entries then entered into the National Competition. Trophies for the Winners and Runners-Up of the National Competition are awarded annually at the Association's Annual General Meeting.
