GREEN FOR GOOD

The first edition of the international poster competition "Posters For Future"



Get more info


READY, STEADY, PRINT!

Creatives For Future invites you to take part in our poster contest about
human-caused climate change. Let‘s raise awareness and cool down our carbon
footprint (as well as our handprint).


WHY YOU SHOULD TAKE PART

Your creativity can change the game. With your artistic ideas, you‘ll inspire
others to take action against climate change.


STAND OUT, TAKE A STAND – TOGETHER

The result is a single, giant piece of work comprising 50 A3 posters. Your only
challenge is this: Your poster must be set up for riso printing.




REDUCTION IS THE KEY

When the posters eventually get printed, we‘ll use the risography technique. One
colour will represent the motto of the year, joining the hues of paper and
black. In 2024, that colour is green. This year‘s motto is “Green For Good”.


HOW THE CONTEST WORKS

Every year, participants are assigned 2 colours. The winners‘ posters are
printed on DIN A3 paper using risography.


INTRODUCING THE POSTER CONTEST

The international poster contest takes place every two years. To highlight the
multifaceted nature of climate change, we work with a different motto every
year. Working with a specific motto each year also helps us compare the posters
and focus on your creativity.


ENTRIES ARE DUE ON 31 MAY 2024

Send a PDF version of your poster to entry@postersforfuture.de by 31 May 2024.
To save resources and make the contest as accessible as possible, we only accept
digital submissions. Our expert jury will also evaluate your work digitally.


EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT RISOGRAPHY

Risography is the environmentally friendly printing process. The ink is soy oil
based, and the master foils are made from hemp fibres. Riso printing only
requires a fraction of the energy used by a digital printing press. Eco-friendly
and beautiful. A riso print is never perfect. That‘s what makes it so exciting.
Similar to screen printing, colour applications and offsets have special
characteristics.




COPYCATS ARE MOST WELCOME

After the contest, the print-ready posters will be available for download, so
they can be put up in public spaces and used in protest marches or
demonstrations. Later, exhibitions will present the 50 best posters from the
contest.


YOUR CHALLENGE, IF YOU CHOOSE TO ACCEPT IT

The motto “Green For Good” only specifies the colours. Explore new ideas. It‘s
up to you: Come up with your own slogans. Let the illustration take centre
stage. Allow a photo to say more than 1,000 words. The only limits to your
creativity are those set by the printing process.


TERMS AND CONDITIONS

These conditions focus on technical and design specifications. All you need to
do is confirm that your work may be published under the Creative Commons
license. Participants must be older than 16 years (if you‘re under 18, we‘ll
need consent from a parent or guardian).


DESIGN SPECS

Our motto is “Green for Good”. You can use it as a slogan if you‘d like. But
we‘re looking forward to receive a diverse variety of posters. So you are free
in your design and wording – as long as you follow the colour requirements and
make sure your poster is about climate change.

Here are some example topics to inspire you:
protecting the climate
deforestation
plant extinction
green energy
urban greening


TECHNICAL SPECS

You‘ll need to set up your file for riso printing. Colours: black and green
(full tones). Dimensions: DIN A3, portrait format, with a circumferential border
of 5 mm. A sample document (InDesign) is available for download.

SPECIAL FEATURES

Large solid colour areas often cause problems. Therefore, please use 80% opacity
for such areas. Font sizes must not be smaller than 6 pt. For typography and
important details, maintain a protective zone of 6 mm all around the final
dimensions. Halftone pattern modulation and colour overlays create new tones and
make riso printing unique.


HOW TO TAKE PART

Please fill out the participation form and confirm that you accept the Terms and
Conditions. Create a PDF file of your work and send it to
entry@postersforfuture.de with your filled-in form.

IMPORTANT TERMS

Entries are due on 31 May 2024. Max 2 posters per person. To ensure equal
conditions for all, each participant may enter up to 2 posters. Group entries
welcome. You are welcome to work in groups. But your group should consist of at
least 3 participants.

Submit work via mail +


WHAT TO EXPECT IF YOU WIN

Your contribution supports all For Future movements. Anyone may present the
posters at demonstrations and protest marches, share them on their social media
channels or paper the walls of their school with them.


SHARING ON SOCIAL MEDIA

When sharing your work, please use the following hashtags:
#PostersForFuture
#CreativesForFuture
#GreenForGood
Please only share your work after the jury has finished judging. Of course, we
want to exhibit your work, too. That‘s why we‘ll print the 50 winning posters,
assemble them into one giant poster and put them up in several exhibition
locations.
