Mr. Shigeo Fukuda, chair of
the jury, commented :when considering that
it was the first competition, it was a wonder
and pleasure to receive such a great number
of submissions of high level from around
the world. In the Public Campaign Poster
category, many works dealt with the big
social issues such as international conflicts,
environment pollution, poverty and diseases.
The Commercial Poster category had many
works reflecting a global economic recession,
while posters with unique cultural background
were dominant in the Cultural Poster category.
All the selected posters will
be exhibited at the Exhibition Hall of the
Korea Design Center starting from November
20, when the opening and prize giving ceremony
will take place. Please take a look at the
statistics of the competition, and the prize
winners. |
