Maria Curie-Skłodowska University, the Centre for the Meeting of Cultures and Otwarta Pracownia Artistic Association in Lublin have the pleasure to invite you to take part in the third edition of the International Poster Biennale Lublin 2017. Similarly, as in the previous editions, the competition will focus on posters created by students of art faculties. However, this time it has been decided to invite professional artists as well. The new format of the competition is followed by its new name – International Poster Biennale Lublin. The International Poster Biennale Lublin 2017 is cooperating with the Centre for the Meeting of Cultures, which has joined as one of the co-organisers of the event.
Posters may be submitted in 3 categories
The first one, A category, is aimed at people who are currently studying and those who have graduated in 2017.
In B category all the people interested in poster art or performing it professionally can submit their works.
In both categories, works can touch upon any subject, but they have to be created after 30 June 2015.
Works that have already been awarded in other competitions (prizes like Grand Prix, first, second or third prize) are not accepted.
