DRAW ME DEMOCRACY NEWS: TBILISI WORKSHOP CANCELED, THESSALONIKI ADDED

Sad but true: unfortunately we are forced to call off the workshop that was scheduled for the end of April in Tbilisi, Georgia. We are very sorry for this inconvenience and beg pardon to all those who were planning to attend that workshop.
But there are also some great news! The AAS College in Thessaloniki, Greece, will host a new workshop, starting June 18. The instructor will be Antoine Abi Aad of Lebanon. If you live in Greece and you’re a student, a designer or a NGO professional and you would like to participate, send an email at dmd (at) posterfortomorrow.org. You will receive a text based form to fill in and send us back.

2011 "Right To Education" Competition: all the results are out!

Today is the day. We are excited to publish, for the world to know, the names of all the designers that took part, with their work and their passion, to the current edition of poster for tomorrow. They're more than a thousand and it is only thanks to them that this edition has been such a success so far.

This year and for the first time we'd like to pay a small tribute not only to those whose work has been acknowledged by poster for tomorrow's jury by being selected for the exhibition but also to those that made it to the shortlist. All their names are now published in specific pages on our website.

If this wasn't enough, we have a treat for your eyes and your intellect: the gallery of the 10 posters that will be included in the permanent collections of the prestigious design museums around the world that collaborate with our project.

More, more, more from Africa!

This week we've held workshops in South Africa and Tunisia: at the Durban University of Technology, led by Leandro Castelao and at École Supérior des Sciences et Technologies du Design, led by Florence Robert. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
And next week Joel Holland will be at the Maru-a-Pula School in Gaborone, Botswana and Götz Gramlich will be leading a workshop at Zimbabwe Institute of Vigital Arts in Harare, Zimbabwe. Which, quite simply, is great news all round. Here are the posters they made for their workshops:
 
 
 
And we hope that it will soon be even better. We're still looking for sponsors to help us organise more workshops in more countries. If you'd like to help fund a workshop in one of the following places, please contact Herve Matine:

Clairefontaine Supports our African Workshops!

As we announced last week, we will be hosting a series of workshops across Africa to give young African designers the chance to work with some of the leading designers in the world.

And we're very pleased to announce that Clairefontaine have become a partner of our workshops. They've kindly offered to cover a significant amount of the costs for the workshops, for which we're extremely grateful. But not only that, they will launch a series of academic notebooks with 10 posters from our "Right To Education" poster competition on the cover as part of their longstanding Education campaign. Chapeau!

We're overjoyed to have Clairefontaine as a partner, but at the risk of repeating ourselves, we still need more help to make these workshop happen. We're going to hold workshops in Botswana, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Guinea, Kenya, Mali, Morocco, South Africa, Tunisia and Zimbabwe, led by a team of leading designers including Reza Abedini (Iran), Michal Batory (France), Yossi Lemel (Israel), Guy Schockaert (Belgium), Niklaus Troxler (Switzerland), amongst others.

The more support we have, the more workshops we can host and the more people we can help. So every little helps! If you would like to support this project you can it by doing a donation through PayPal. Or if you'd like to help in any other way, please let us know! Email Hervé Matine at: news@posterfortomorrow.org

Xiao Yong joins poster for tomorrow jury
When we were coming up with our live jury, we sent out a message to Xiao Yong, a Beijing based graphic designer that we greatly admire for his dedication in the design education and design awareness fields.
 
As we didn't hear back from him, we supposed he wasn't interested. But the delay in his reply was only accidental - blame tight working schedules for that.
So even if we already announced our live jury members, please let us make an exception for such a praiseworthy designer. Let's welcome Xiao in our live jury.
 
Xiao Yong is currently serving as a Icograda board member. He's a professor at CAFA, Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing, China and a visiting professor at University of Arts London. 
 
He has worked extensively for Chinese government institutions and designed the medals for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. Xiao Yong was recognized as of the “Top 10 Chinese designers” in 2007 and his firm, XiaoYong Design, is one of the most influentials in China.
 
You can read more about him and see his works at: www.xiaoyong.com
