Both competitions are open to everyone. The Main Competition does not have a theme. Therefore, it is a cross-section of the world’s cultural diversity and current affairs from various areas. The issue that is the focus of the Thematic Competition is “The Changing World and Health”. Changes are taking place in the society, culture, politics and economy. We live in a risk society. Globalisation and localness collide and mediate. Contrasts catch the eye. We constantly draw from nature and transform it – more and more often in a conflicting and destructive manner. On 11 March 2020, the World Health Organisation announced the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. The world is still struggling, although vaccinations are in progress. But health issues in the modern world are innumerable! We can learn more from poster artists!
In 2020, several interesting side events took place as part of the 27th International Poster Biennale in Warsaw. They were the lead-in to what is about to happen during the key event taking place between: 12 June–28 August 2021. Most importantly, we have organised the International Poster Competition for art students under the honorary patronage of the Polish National Commission for UNESCO, concluded with an open-air (a must during the pandemic!) exhibition in the Koneser Praga Centre.
