poster for tomorrow’s poster competition for 2011 is open for entries until midnight (CET) on Sunday, July 10th. So as of today, there are still ten more days for you, or anyone else that's interested, to submit a poster on the theme of the right to education for all. You can find more details, and upload your posters at posterfortomorrow.org. Go, go go! As ever, the best entries as selected by our online and live juries, will be published in a catalogue and exhibited around the world on December 10th, International Human Rights day.

The competition will be judged in two stages: first by an online jury of 100 people from more than 45 different nationalities from a wide variety of professional backgrounds; then second by a 'live' jury of designers in Paris in October.

 
The Right To Education
‘Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.’
Nelson Mandela.

We’ve chosen to fight for the right to education as we believe that education gives people across the whole world the chance to break the cycle of poverty; to live in a more equal world, without discrimination, where everybody has the same chance to learn the same skills and enjoy the same success. To enjoy a better tomorrow.

 
Pan African Workshop Update
The first set of our Pan African Workshops are complete! 9 workshops have been given in 8 countries across the continent, from Morocco to South Africa, with a huge amount of success. These are just two of the many pieces of positive feedback we had from students on the workshops:

This from Zimbabwe: "I just want to thank you very much for the wonderful human and designer Götz Gramlich! The students have been blown away by his talent and also his humility! It's an experience they will not forget in their lives and he has opened up their eyes to the myriad of possibility in the world of design.".
And this from Botswana: "I would just like you to know how impressed I have been with Joel in this workshop. It has been a wonderful, instructive and inspirational experience for all - thank you for including us and congratulations on a magical idea."

The good news is that we have three more workshops planned for September in Congo, Uganda, and Burkina Faso. Designers will be announced in September, and these will be the last workshops we arrange for 2011.

 
New Supporters
We are proud to announce that the French Ministry for education , youth , social and local community life has become a patron of poster for tomorrow. We hope that together we will develop collaborations and relationships with French colleges, schools and high schools, with the aim of organizing and proposing graphic design workshops based on social topics. Which is great news!

And we are equally proud to say that Institut Polanais in Paris is supporting our 2011 edition. With these new patrons on board we feel that we're moving towards more concrete action and a more tangible outcome every year; we'd like to thank everyone who is already involved and hope that there's much more to come!
