In its 11th edition, POSTERHEROES 2022: Mindful or Mind Full? is a visual and social communication poster contest with an international selection panel and a cash prize of €2.500. No submission fees. Deadline September 20th, 2022
→ BRIEF
We live in an era of information overload where people must continually reskill, upskill and get new skills. Learning follows the accelerated pace of technological progress, leaving behind those who cannot keep up. It is time to change the paradigm in favor of slow and sustainable learning that aims to train conscious individuals in the name of cooperation, respect, and solidarity. Posterheroes propose to reflect on the limits of current learning models and imagine future ones.
→ OVERVIEW
Posterheroes keeps encouraging a positive reflection, giving value to social sustainability and inviting professional graphic designers and aspiring ones to consider it as a resource for building the communities of the future. The competition aims at promoting graphic design as a significant tool amplifying the potentialities of communication and stimulating a productive debate on international social issues which are affecting the future scenario.
