Overview

The 7th Bolu International Poster Design Competition, organized by the Department of Graphic Arts of the Faculty of Fine Arts, aims to unite designers globally. This year's theme, "Beyond Horizons: Designing a Sustainable Future," encourages participants to explore new perspectives on sustainability and global responsibility through visual communication. The competition seeks to stimulate dialogue and raise awareness about creating a more responsible and sustainable world, aligning with several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Participants are invited to develop creative visual interpretations that address sustainability, innovation, and global responsibility, interpreting the theme through their unique visual language and conceptual perspectives.
