INTERNATIONAL POSTER COMPETITION
16th EDITION OF GRAPHISME DANS LA RUE
For the past 15 years, the annual event known as "Graphisme dans la rue"
("Graphics in the Streets") has been inviting graphic artists to create large-format
posters addressing the theme of "the city", then posting the works on billboards
throughout the town of Fontenay-sous-Bois.
For 20 years, the city of Fontenay-sous-Bois has welcomed original graphic artists’
posters, providing commissions and a creative outlet for artists/designers.
For this 2nd edition of the poster competition, international this year, we are calling
for submissions from all professional graphic artists.
Fontenay proposes using the poster as a means of reflection on the theme of "the
city", raising questions as concerned citizens, and emphasizing universal values.
Previously commissioned or previously published works cannot be submitted - only
new and original author’s works are eligible.
We will soon be celebrating the 40th anniversary of May ’68, an era when images
were seeking to express every possible utopian dream, imagining the city as "the
art of living together".
COMPETITION REGULATIONS
The posters must be format 60 cm x 80 cm, horizontal (or "Italian").
They must be digital or other prints (silkscreen, lithography, offset...), in color or
black and white on paper.
The text must be in the language of the graphic designer’s country (a French translation
of the text must accompany your work). We suggest you also send a written
commentary to explain your.
The posters can be the work of a single artist or a group.
Entry deadline : Entries must be sent before the 10th March 2008.
Send a computer file of the image (resolution 300 dpi, format 24 x 32) along with
the entry form stating your mailing address, email address and phone number.
Shipping costs must be paid by the artist.
Posters not selected will be available for pick-up by the artists at our premises
until the end of June.
Selected posters remain the property of the City of Fontenay-sous-Bois.
The organizers reserve the right to use any information provided by the artist and
well as the right (free of charge, but non-exclusive) to photographically reproduce
