Since 1987, Washington, DC has been the home of the Rolling Thunder Motorcycle Run, held over Memorial Day Weekend as a peaceful
demonstration to bring awareness to the plight of prisoners of war
(POW) and those missing in action (MIA).
Attracting visitors from all 50 states and over half a dozen countries,
the Rolling Thunder Motorcycle Run is the largest annual gathering
in the Washington, DC area and one of the world’s largest events
with a crowd nine times larger than the Super Bowl!
National History Day (NHD)
is a highly regarded academic
program for elementary and
secondary school students. Each
year, more than half a million
students, nationwide participate
in the NHD contest.
More than 5 million students
have gone on to careers in business, law, medicine and countless
other disciplines where they are
putting into practice what they
learned through NHD.
As authorized by Congress and
on behalf of the Nation, we are
doing what should have been
done 50 years ago: thanking
and honoring our 7.2 million
living Vietnam veterans and
the families of all 9 million
who served.
We are proud to join more than
7,000 local, state and federal
organizations as Commemorative Partners in this most
noble effort.

ADVERTISING SPECIFICATIONS
READY TO SUBMIT YOUR AD?
HERE’S HOW
HistoryNet can accept digital ads from both Macintosh and
Windows platforms. Before submission, please confirm that
your application and media are listed below.
FILE TYPE
• EPS—Illustrator, Quark XPress
• TIFF, PDF—PhotoShop, InDesign
Ads created in MS Word, MS Publisher, PowerPoint or any
other word-processing program will NOT be accepted. For
advertisements prepared in Quark XPress, place the page
layout document and all images (use Collect for Output)
in one folder. Collect all the fonts, both screen and printer,
used in the document and place them in a folder labeled
“fonts” inside the document folder. It’s critical that you
supply all fonts used, even such common ones as Times and
Helvetica. Different versions of fonts with the same name
from the same foundry have different metrics or kerning
pairs, and those differences can cause type to reflow. We will
use your fonts exclusively for your ad.
FONTS
We can only accept PostScript Type 1 fonts. If TrueType fonts
are used, they must be converted to outlines in Illustrator
or a similar program, or embedded within a PDF. Type must
not have styles (bold, italic, etc.) applied in the page layout
program. The actual (bold or italic) font must be selected.
IMAGES
Photographic: Should be saved in TIFF or EPS format — not
JPEG— and must not contain extra channels. The color
space should be CMYK or Grayscale. Do not place CMYK
images in black and white ads. The maximum ink coverage
(C+M+Y+K) is not to exceed 300%. The resolution of images
should be between 250 and 400 dpi. Images should not
contain embedded transfer functions or halftone screens. Do
not use ICC profiles or other color management.
Linework: Should be saved as a bitmap TIFF. Should have an
effective resolution of 1200 to 2400 dpi.
VECTOR (EPS, logos, etc.) Images must be embedded, not
linked. Fonts must be converted to outline (preferred) or
embedded within the EPS. Do not place EPS files inside of
EPS files. Colors: No RGB or Pantone. Must be CMYK. Ink
coverage not to exceed 300%.
