Yes, clarif very helpful if poss!  I've spoken with 1 volunteer artist 
who is very concerned her artwork will be cut off around the edges, she 
writes:

/O//fficial instructions didn't mention bleed, but to play safe I will 
add on a few mm around the edges and hope they cut back to the stated 
size. If the bleed was unnecessary, no matter. If they enlarge it and 
then cut to size (cutting off part of the design), *I shall be pissed 
:-)*//I fear that's what they will do, though, since they are receiving 
contributions from people not familiar with making posters for print./
