These posters were evaluated by the online jury composed 50-50 regarding genders - including illustrators, teachers, journalists, linguists and fake news experts, activists, NGO representatives and people working in the media from all over the world. They have shortlisted 300 posters. One more we would like to thank the whole team for their work.

To reduce our carbon footprint we will organise our live judging sessions to coincide with a international design event.

This year the judging will take place in Lecce, Italy in partnership with "Conversazioni sul futuro", We are very grateful for the festival's support.
Supported by the French Ministry of Culture, the visual campaign of this edition was created by the Chinese artist Yang Liu, born in Beijing in 1976 who has lived in Germany since 1990, author of East meets West - Taschen and who will be in Lecce for the jury meeting.
Call for entries Closed | 6078 Entries recorded | Online jury revealed
After having extended 12 more hours, this yearâs edition of the poster for tomorrow contest in now closed. We have recorded 6078 entries addressing the theme of âfake newsâ, a topic that has felt increasingly relevant this year.
We are now going to prepare our database and select eligible submitted posters. They will be judged by poster for tomorrowâs online jury, who will make a selection of entries to go forward to the âliveâ judging session later this year. We have spent a month putting the online jury. Normally it is split 50:50 between graphic designers and people whose work relates to the theme addressed in the contest. However, this year we took a different approach. (Itâs of course still 50:50 regarding genders). Our online jury is made up of professional illustrators, teachers and professors of art, journalists, news reporters and experts in fake news, NGO representatives, and people working in the media from all around the world. You can meet the online jury here
The final round of judging will take place in Lecce, Italy between 22-25 October. To reduce our carbon footprint we organise our live judging sessions to coincide with an international design event. In this way we can assemble the jurors without asking them to make another significant journey. This year the judging takes place thanks to our partnership with "Conversazioni sul futuro". We are very grateful for the festival's support.

Fake News - 2020 Vision.

are pleased to announce that poster for tomorrow's 11th edition, âFake
News â 2020 Visionâ, is now officially open. You have until Wednesday
the 20th May to enter the contest and submit your poster entries to our
website.
Perhaps the least said about fake news, the better. There is, sadly, no escaping it, literally or figuratively, but that doesnât mean that we canât do anything about it. Whatever your politics or beliefs, it is only facts and open debate that will help us move forward together, instead of further entrench us in our positions as fake news intends.
Reducing the carbon footprint of our judging process
To
reduce our carbon footprint we will organise our live judging sessions
to coincide with a international design event. In this way we can
assemble the jurors without asking them to make another significant
journey. This year the judging will take place in Lecce, Italy in
partnership with "Conversazioni sul futuro", We are very grateful for the festival's support.
We would like to thank Yang Liu who kindly accepted to lead our visual campaign. To see more of her artwork, please click here.
