Poster For Tomorrow 2013 Poster for tomorrow announces its 5th annual call for entries for social communication poster designs. The project has been running its yearly contest since 2009 and this year topic will be the right to housing . ‘Home’ means something different to all of us. The place where we grew up, the place where we live at the moment, the place we come to relax or entertain our friends after work. But for far too many people home remains a distant dream, a place to aspire to, as they try to eke out an existence in sub-standard accommodation or sleep rough on the streets because they have nowhere else to go. It doesn’t have to be this way. The United Nations has enshrined the right of every man, woman and child to a place to live. Not somewhere to shelter from the elements, but a place to live in safety, security and ‘in peace and dignity’. This is what poster for tomorrow is campaigning for in 2013: the universal right to housing. It’s a huge issue, which is why we’re going to be approaching it slightly differently this year. There’ll be one central brief as usual, but every month from February until June we’ll release a new brief addressing a different aspect of the issue: causes, facts, consequences and solutions. But for now we’d like to invite you to concentrate on one thing: the right to housing. Contest’s website will be open to receive entries starting 10 March. There is no entry fee. Eligibility Open to designers and design students from all over the world. Prize An international panel of 100 online jury members will shortlist received entries, while our 12 jurors will meet in Paris next October to judge the 100 best posters entries. These will make up the exhibition and catalogue that will be displayed worldwide next 10 December, International Human Rights Day and third edition of A day for tomorrow .

Fernweh / Heimweh
Wohin auch immer euch die Sehnsucht treibt. Schickt uns eure Fotos, Collagen und Kunstwerke. Denn 2013 wird kommen. Allen Pessimisten zum Trotz.

Die Eckdaten Thema Fernweh / Heimweh

Persönliche Angaben Bitte fügt eurer Einsendung euren Namen, eine gültige Telefonnummer und eure Postadresse bei. Schreibt uns auch kurz, worauf sich euer Fernweh / Heimweh bezieht.

Bitte nur eine Einsendung pro Person. Alle Jahre wieder: Eine. Einsendung. Pro. Person. Ihr habt zwar hunderte kleine Dinge, die euch das Heimweh nehmen und mit tausenden Bildern assoziiert ihr Fernweh. Das können wir alles verstehen. Aber wir wollen dennoch ein Foto von euch. Nehmt einfach das Beste.

Bitte schickt uns eure Einsendung als .jpg (beste Qualität einstellen), .eps, .tiff oder .pdf Damit euer Bild auch druckfähig ist, sollte es ca./mindestens 154x111mm groß sein und 300 dpi haben. Dateien mit so einer Größe können schon ein paar MB haben.

Info zum Format der Postkarte: Querformat, Breite 148mm x Höhe 105mm Abfallend mit 3mm Überfüller - d.h. das Motiv geht über dieses Format 3mm drüber - somit verhindert man weiße Blitzer, falls beim Druck etwas nicht exakt liegen sollte.

Und noch mal: bitte Querformat!

Ganz wichtig: Stellt bitte vorher klar, dass die Rechte für die von euch verwendeten Schriften, Fotos und Bilder bei euch liegen.
