VISUAL SCANDAL
International Student

This year, for the fifth year running, the poster festival Weltformat is organising a student international poster competition.Twenty posters will be shortlisted and unveiled at a special outdoor exhibition at the festival in Lucerne in October. At the opening of the festival, the winning poster will be awarded a prize of 1,500 CHF by APG|SGA(Switzerland’s leading Out of Home advertising company).

THEME: VISUAL SCANDAL
Posters should pack a punch. But what is the best way of doing this? Can this only be achieved through crass and vulgar means?Based on the quote from Raymond Savignac “L’affiche est un scandale visuel” (The poster is a visual scandal), different ways of attracting attention should be explored. For the competition, we are looking for visual statements, which can stand their ground on the street.
