24.03.2010 News
Chicago (United States) - Now in its second year, the has announced the call for entries for the 2010 Biennial competition and exhibition, and launches the first student poster competition. Deadline for submissions for this Icograda-endorsed event is 22 May 2010.
The event is hosted by the Chicago International Poster Biennial Association (CIPBA), which works with design professionals and students, professional associations, educational and civic institutions, and members of the public to advance its mission of promoting visual literacy as a professional responsibility, advancing international cooperation as a social imperative, and celebrating cultural diversity as our greatest tool for understanding and peace.
The first Chicago International Poster Biennial exhibition was held in Daley Bicentennial Plaza - part of Chicago's Grant Park - in September of 2008. This unique, outdoor exhibition was installed with a primary goal in mind, central to the CIPBA's philosophy: to help realise posters as the quintessential public art form, engaging citizens at street level. Posters require an emotional and intellectual response, and they stimulate dialogue and articulation of important social, political, and economic issues. The CIPBA will continue to advocate on behalf of posters and communication design as a shared, public experience.
Tthe jury will select finalists from all entries to take part in the 2010 Biennial exhibition this summer. One student will receive a medal and certificate for the best poster, as determined by the international jury.
