FOR/AGAINST International Student Poster Competition

FOR/AGAINST International Student Poster Competition now is over!

CALL FOR ENTRIES: The FOR/AGAINST (ZA/PRZECIW) international poster competition recently organised by Polish-Japanese Academy of Information Technology in Warsaw, invites students and recent graduates worldwide to participate.

The Polish-Japanese Academy of Information Technology in Warsaw, in cooperation with Academy of Art in Szczecin and Dydo Gallery in Kraków, is hosting the FOR/AGAINST International Student Poster Competition inviting all students and recent graduates to take a part.

Universal access to numerous sources of information and multiple communication tools means that anyone can comment on any issue, phenomenon or problem from anywhere in the world. Everyone can mark their presence in this local-global community by engaging with any issue even if just by expressing their opinion, support or opposition. FOR/AGAINST (ZA/PRZECIW) are contradictory expressions which illustrate the bipolarity of the world and its divisions but also showcase the freedom of choice. Through this bipolarity FOR/AGAINST does not impose a positive or a negative meaning. The main goal of the project is to analyze the current social discussions and to compare the different perspectives on current issues. Create a poster showcasing an issue or a phenomenon that is important to you. Show the world what you believe brings a positive change or what you would like to criticise and improve. Your poster can show your support and appreciation for a cause but it can also be a protest.

Submission requirements:

➜ An overview version of each submitted competition work should be sent
➜ Each participant can submit up to three different posters
➜ Submited poster for preview need to be digital and sized7 x 10 cm, only portrait oriented, 300 dpi, RGB, jpg (maximum 5 MB).

The finalists will be informed of the results by e-mail and will be required to send 2 x copies of printed posters in B1 format (70 × 100 cm).

An international jury will select 50 best posters from all correctly submitted applications. The selected works will be presented during four post-competition exhibitions in Kraków, Szczecin, Olsztyn and Łódź in Poland. The FOR/AGAINST (ZA/PRZECIW) competition is an accompanying event to the 27th Poster Biennale in Warsaw 2020.
