Short Description

JAGDA International Student Poster Award was established with the mission to discover and acknowledge outstanding young talents from across the world and to promote the further advancement of graphic design. Posters allow ideas to be freely expressed through the rich mixture of graphics and texts, giving them the instantaneous power to move the hearts of people and create visual communications beyond borders and boundaries. Our hope is to cultivate a better understanding of each other and share international issues through the medium of posters. We look forward to your challenges!
