LOG IN TO POSTER FOR TOMORROW

It was a great day for tomorrow
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!

FIDH endorses Poster for Tomorrow
We are proud to announce that Poster for Tomorrow has been endorsed by FIDH, aka the International Federation for Human Rights.
FIDH was established in 1922, when it united ten national organisations. Today it consists of 164 human rights organisations in nearly 100 countries.
FIDH’s core mandate is to promote respect for all the rights set out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights.
We're very pleased to be associated with them and with their help we hope we're a step closer to accomplishing our shared aim of universal abolition of the death sentence.

Call for Entries opens
The poster for tomorrow competition for 2010 is now open for entries. This year we we're calling for universal abolition of the death penalty under the theme: death is not justice.
We believe in design, and posters, as a medium to inspire social change.
What you create as an artist, graphic designer or art director can inform, provoke emotion and motivate people to action. It’s a great gift.
And a gift you can use to inspire change in the world.
We believe the death penalty is a violation of human rights and that it has no place in modern society. And that’s what we want to change in 2010. We hope you’ll join us.
One poster is a start. But hundreds, thousands, become a movement that cannot be denied.
Please download the complete call for entries in English here, or look for it in your own language in the links on the right.
More translations will be available soon.

Welcome to our new website
It’s the start of our activities in 2010. A new year, a new website, a new theme.
Today we’re launching our plans for 2010 at the World Congress against the Death Penalty in Geneva. Because that’s what we want to achieve this year - draw people’s attention to the injustice of (and hopefully abolish) the death penalty.
Our main man Hervé is in Geneva today presenting our project to hundreds of associations already working against the death penalty. We want to add our voices to theirs to make as much noise as possible this October on 10/10/10, the World Day against the death penalty, so people will listen to us. And we want to ask for your help.
Not just designing a poster either. This year music is going to be part of our activities as well. We also want to make more of our design events, and use them as a platform for people to stand together against the death penalty.
That’s a short(ish) summary of what we want to do this year. If you’d like to know more, please read our press release (here). You’ll find it in a selection of languages on your right hand side.
Speak to you soon,
Ciao,
Tommaso
