International poster competition "Graphisme dans la rue" - Call for entries

For the past 16 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 their works on billboards throughout the town of Fontenay-sous-Bois (France).

This new edition of the international poster competition is 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.

Deadline: 15th March 2009

  • Points of the 1997 Declaration related to this subject:
    - Paragraph 18: (...) New means of private funding, from major foundations to small companies, must be encouraged as supplementary sources of funds, particularly with a view to supporting the creation, the expression and the dissemination of contemporary works.
    - Paragraph 19: Public and private funding sources are invited to respond favourably to requests made by artists in developing countries or countries in transition. UNESCO’s intervention is particularly necessary in order to identify and publicize existing opportunities for private funding of the arts worldwide.
