Posterheroes: International Poster Contest

Posterheroes is an international contest about social communication that calls for poster 70×100 cm about social and environmental themes. Every year, Posterheroes invites students, professional designers or people passionated in graphic design, to realize a poster about topics of social interest. All the works are judged by a selection panel composed by some of the most relevant experts of the graphic design and communication field



Posterheroes 2020: Humans at work

The latest edition is called Humans at work and is about future work scenarios and the role of dignified employment in the lives of individuals and in the sustainable development of society.

The 9th edition of Posterheroes is in collaboration with the Learning Innovation Program of the ITC-ILO.

Express yourself through a poster in 70×100 cm
In contemporary society, work represents not only the main means of subsistence for human life, but also the element capable of guaranteeing security, responding to the needs of belonging and self-fulfillment and defining the relationship between oneself and the others in a wider context.

The world of work, however, in recent decades has undergone a very rapid transformative process and it has been influenced, on a global level, by a wide range of factors, with specific consequences in different territorial areas.

For some years the International Labour Organization has introduced the concept of “decent work”, promoting a positive scenario in which employment is carried out in conditions of freedom, equality, security and human dignity for men and women, with self-respect, in well-being and guaranteeing personal development for each human being. These are all key requirements for the achievement of sustainable development and social justice.

The Posterheroes competition, that has reached its 9th edition, aims to support ILO in the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda, stimulating reflection on these issues.

Posterheroes invites the creatives of the global community to express themselves through a poster in 70×100 cm.
