We are thrilled to disclose the brief for the new edition of poster for tomorrow: “Gender Equality Now!”

The condition of women has undergone undeniable improvements during the last century. But these improvements haven’t happened everywhere and even where they have been the strongest, well, they are far from being strong enough.
Gender inequality still lingers unchallenged: it’s one of those things that are hard to see precisely because they are right in front of our eyes.
That’s why we ask all of you to see beyond the status quo and imagine a different future.

As for the past, at closing of the call for entries, poster for tomorrow will entrust your artworks to a jury of renowned designers. The best 100 posters will be displayed in multiple locations worldwide opening 10 December, “A Day for Tomorrow”.

But there will soon be plenty of time to deal with the details and also with the novelties of this 2012 edition. Now is the time for the really important stuff.

We need gender equality now, because more opportunities for women are more opportunities for us all.


Competition Calendar:
Call for entries open: 8 March 2012
Call for entries close: 10 July 2012
Online jury vote: 20 July - 10 September 2012
Live jury session, Paris: 5 October 2012
Worldwide exhibitions opening: 10 December 2012

Good luck to everyone!

So here we are again back to our daily routine.
But, when it comes to Poster for tomorrow, the only routine is the constant effort to conceive and organize new inspiring projects.

The 2011 edition of Poster for tomorrow came to a glorious ending with the rolling of the worldwide exhibition tour in December and (we're sure you have already guessed where we are heading here) the new 2012 brief is already on its way.

The topic together with all the other relevant details will be revealed to the world next monday, January 16th. We're extremely excited by the chosen topic, its social and cultural implications and the artistic possibilities it will surely open up. By now we can only anticipate that… ok, just kidding.

You will have to wait until next monday! 

We're not used to boast our achievements, and indeed this note doesn't intend to do so, but please let us share with all of you our joy and happiness in seeing the closing of a very special day: our first day for tomorrow.

Despite the difficulties and the inevitable shortcomings which we became familiar with as we were running this project, for us it was a success. That's because many of the 30 exhibitions we managed to get organised around the world, are in countries which are seldom part of the graphic design discourse. For this reason, we hope to have started a dialogue that will continue in the future to include new players in an industry that is in dire need to redefine its scope and ambitions.

Moreover, we were able to shed some light on a topic such as the Right to Education. There's a strong need for us to be aware of this problem and its consequences, which limits people's potential in the South as well as in the North of the world.

Our wish is that the posters that we collected in the exhibitions and the book will fuel debate - hopefully not only within the graphic design circle, but in civil society as a whole.
In the next few days we'll try to share with you what we achieved today by pictures and more so please keep tuned!

With exhibitions confirmed from India to Ecuador and from the US of A to Botswana, chances are there's a Poster for tomorrow "Right to Education" event near you.

Check out the "Events" tab on our Facebook page or follow this link to read the list directly on our website, complete with all the details you need to come and celebrate with us the International Human Rights Declaration anniversary.

We finally let it out! It’s the catalogue of our 2011 edition. Opened by a foreword from Irina Bokova, Unesco’s Director-General, designed by dutch maestro Ingrid Van Der Meulen and written by celebrated English author Will Georgi, it makes an outstanding holiday season gift.
