The poster is made on a light, slightly yellowish background that resembles paper texture. The main visual elements are two bears depicted in a stylized, drawing-like manner. The larger bear stands on its hind legs, wearing blue pants with a black belt, and holds a yellow shovel with its front paws. The smaller bear sits on the ground, with a red undershirt and black parts of pants. Both bears have black paws and noses. In the background, in the upper left corner, a blue, stylized sun disk with red and blue stripes radiating from it is visible. At the bottom, there are large, bold letters in various colors—red, blue, and yellow. The poster's composition is dynamic, with lines guiding the viewer's eyes diagonally from the top downward. The colors are contrasting, primarily warm tones with accents in yellow and blue.
