Poster TM

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.

Every year, Poster For Tomorrow organizes a major international competition to promote active citizenship through design. The 100 posters were selected from 3461 entries from 122 countries. Students from the Graphic Design option at Esa St-Luc Bruxelles were in the spotlight, with 6 winning posters, including one in the top 10, and 15 posters among the 400 shortlisted. The posters at the exhibition are the 100 winning posters + the 15 shortlisted posters by Esa students.
