This year marks the 6th edition of our competition, organized by Bolu Abant İzzet Baysal University Faculty of Fine Arts. Over the past five years, we’ve received more than 10,000 incredible poster designs, and we couldn’t be happier! A huge thank you to all the talented designers who have been part of this journey.

This year, Bolu International Poster Design Competition invites artists and designers to produce powerful visual narratives that address the individual and social effects of addiction with the theme “Fight Against Addiction”. The posters to be exhibited will draw attention to different aspects of addiction and encourage viewers to raise awareness and think. This theme is addressed in the context of the Sustainable Development Goals.

Our poster design exhibition aims to raise awareness about the impact of addiction and to spark a conversation about how we can work together to support those who are affected by it. We hope that this exhibition will provide a powerful visual representation of the diverse and often hidden experiences of addiction. The posters on display will range from powerful, thought-provoking pieces to more light-hearted, humorous takes on the subject, but all of them will be united by their ability to draw attention to the issue and to encourage reflection and discussion. Everyone can design as many posters as they wish. There are no limits to raise awareness!
