Its primary goal is to recognize and spotlight exceptional achievements in poster design. The overarching aim is to foster artistically and conceptually ambitious posters. Entries from all genres and employing various printing techniques, produced and published within the respective year, are eligible for submission. As outlined in the competition guidelines, there are no constraints regarding content or form, resulting in a diverse representation of poster design styles within the German-speaking region.
