We would like to say a huge thank you to everybody who entered and a warm congratulations to all of those who were shortlisted and exhibited within the top 100. The International Poster Competition took place between June–August 2015, receiving 3432 entries from 83 countries, so making the final shortlist is a fantastic achievement. Judges include Tony Brook of Spin (London), Erich Brechbühl/Mixer of Weltformat (Switzerland), Adrian Shaughnessy of Unit Editions (London) and Warriors Studio (Scotland).
We are now delighted to reveal the three winners:

 

1st: Atelier mit Meerblick with 451°F – Patrick Thomas
451°F is title of the exhibition and also the temperature where paper starts burning. The type is physically burned into the paper. Each poster is a unique piece and announces the exhibition of Patrick Thomas.

2nd: Steffen Knöll (Steffen Knoell) with Greece’s new ownership
Political poster to remind people that all of Greece’s problems are caused by banks which now own Greece.
