Lovely artwork and composition. I really love the use of colour and movement. Brilliant work. However, I would take out nearly all of the text. Having looked at quite a few postcards and posters around town in the last few days, I noticed that the ones that caught my attention were the ones with the least information. I think your best bet is to work to attract the attention of the viewer. Interested parties will dig further for information. So make the first glance less cluttered. That is, I think you should tell the viewer what the thing is about with big text, and put the rest somewhere hidden.
Like "TAD: The Art Department" (I'd keep the spacing clear here) followed by "3D. Design. Illustration." (or whatever). The only other text I'd use would be "First submission deadline: 15th November" which I'd place just above the email address.
You'll have more room to work. If you find it looking a bit empty, you could drop the "harness your imagination" back in.
I'm picking up the traditional tools and learning to paint with oils at the Art Academy near London Bridge at the same time as life drawing with pen in Leytonstone.
I've also got a kids book idea on the go and I'm working as a mentor for Animation master Students at Bournemouth University. Lots going on!
