Total of 70 award winning posters will be exhibited in the Design Gallery and will also be showcased on the website. The competition has been organized in the framework of UNESCO Creative Cities Network, and is the first joint project carried out by the seven UNESCO Cities of Design (Berlin, Buenos Aires, Kobe, Montréal, Nagoya, Shanghai and Shenzhen).
The purpose of this competition is to produce images that illustrate what has made, makes or will make the seven UNESCO Cities of Design unique. Every metropolis has its own visual identity, an individual CODE. The focus of this competition is: What CODE defines each city? What is your image of Berlin, Buenos Aires, Kobe, Montréal, Nagoya, Shanghai or Shenzhen? Through this poster competition, together with thousands of creative minds internationally, we want to depict symbols, forms, colours and stories in the urban landscapes that make Berlin, Buenos Aires, Kobe, Montréal, Nagoya, Shanghai and Shenzhen UNESCO Cities of Design.
