➜ Short description

The Fatih Sultan Mehmet Vakif University Graphic Design Department is accepting entries to the 1st International Posterist Exhibition competition, themed “Non Discrimination“.

People are not all alike…

In recent years, our expectations, dreams, and concerns are now very different from the past. Today, health, environment, economy, socio-cultural problems, and many similar issues affect our daily lives deeply; they change us. As just one of the problems peculiar to this age, with the widespread use of communication tools, relationships also become virtual. As a result, while people come together on social media, they also become individualized and experience unexpected conflicts and separations. For this reason, by centralizing a unifying concept – nondiscriminate, we invited designers from different countries to share their social and individual perspectives through their posters to take a closer look at the events that affect us. We believe that what we need in today’s world is to listen carefully and understand each other better. The International Posterist Exhibition will be repeated every year with different themes, different perspectives from different parts of the world.

The works will be evaluated on digital environment by the juries. Works deemed suitable for exhibition will be published on the website on May 23, 2022.

➜ Submission requirements:

➜ Designs can be made in any technique. The works uploaded to the website should have 50x70cm. dimensions, 300 dpi resolution and JPEG format.

However, if one of the local languages is used, the English version must also be present.
