Extension of the 6th poster contest by the Museum of Typography

Free theme - Pandemic – Vaccination

Due to the particularly high number of entries in the 6th International Poster Contest of the Museum of Typography, its duration is extended until Sunday, September 19, 2021.

It is reminded that the contest has a free theme, giving designers the opportunity to express their interests and concerns through their poster, and highlighting the role of the poster as an imprint of every human activity. The pandemic and more recently the vaccination are the topics that have dominated our every day life for the past year and a half, while other creative proposals are also welcome.

The poster should be accompanied by a short explanatory text that will explain its content and purpose. The invitation mainly concerns professionals and students of graphic and visual arts.

The jury of the contest consists of:

• Yiannis Garedakis, journalist – publisher, founder of the newspaper “Haniotika nea” and chairman of the Board of the Museum of Typography

• Yiannis Belibasakis, Assistant Professor, Engraving Laboratory, Department of Fine and Applied Arts, School of Fine Arts, AUTh

The 30 posters selected by the jury will receive honors and the first three will receive significant cash prizes.

• 1,500 euros the first winner

• 1,000 euros the second winner

• 700 euros the third winner

These posters will be presented in an exhibition that will be hosted in the amphitheater of the Museum of Typography for a year, until the next competition.

The awarding of prizes and distinctions will take place on Saturday, October 30, 2021, at the opening of the exhibition, in the amphitheater of the Museum of Typography, at the BIOPA of Chania, Souda, Crete.
