➜ Short description

Posterheroes announces the 14th edition of its international social design contest, dedicated to exploring the transformative power of empathy and kindness. The competition is organised by Associazione Culturale Plug based in Italy.

Every year, Posterheroes invites students, professional designers, and everyone who is into graphic design to create a poster about topics of social interest.

“Seeds of Kindness – A Call to Design Empathy” is the theme of this year’s open call.

In social contexts marked by imbalanced relationships and systemic inequalities - whether in schools, workplaces, public spaces, or digital environments - the lack of empathy fosters exclusion and perpetuates dynamics of bullying, discrimination, and passive indifference. Posterheroes invites participants to convey through design and amplify the power of everyday gestures of care, relationships built on respect, and the richness of human experience in all its diversity.

You can submit up to 3 posters.

Graphic designers, professional or not, are invited to express their thoughts through a 70×100 cm poster.

All the works are judged by a selection panel composed of some of the most relevant graphic design and visual communication experts that chooses 40 winning posters.

➜ Who may enter?

Participation in this competition is open to creatives of any age or nationality.

Monetary awards will be granted to selected works through special partner mentions:

➜ The Favini Mention (€2,500)
➜ The Time2 Foundation Mention (€1,500)
