DEAR STUDENTS OF FINE ARTS!
DEAR FELLOW GRAPHIC ARTISTS AND POSTER ART ENTHUSIASTS!

We commence the 27th International Poster Biennale in Warsaw. Our initial plans were distorted by the situation which affected people around the whole world – the COVID‑19 pandemic.

We feel for students – especially of fine arts – whose artistic development is hampered by the current situation, with no direct contact with their professors and colleagues, without the possibility of participating in workshops. Therefore, we decided that the first accompanying event for the 27th International Poster Biennale in Warsaw will be a special competition dedicated for students of fine arts.

It is the period of summer holidays and the time to prepare an entry may seem short. Nevertheless, we believe that such constraints can make ambitious artistic challenges even more attractive, especially since the theme of the competition is so relevant to the current problems.

The competition is held under the patronage of Polish National Commission for UNESCO.

We cordially invite you to take part in the competition!

Lech Majewski
President of the International Poster Biennale in Warsaw
