The Cyprus Poster Triennial-CPT is a non-profit institution that aims to promote and disseminate knowledge and creativity in the field of graphic design, focusing on the poster as the main medium of visual communication. From their origins in 15th century Europe to the modern digital age, posters have been influential not only as a means of information, but also as tools for social change, raising public awareness of critical issues and helping to spread revolutionary ideas and political propaganda.
Bridging East and West, the Cyprus Poster Triennial (Cyprus Poster Triennial-CPT) aspires first and foremost to establish itself as an institution of graphic design in the Mediterranean region and at the same time to become a meeting place for designers from all over the world. Beyond all expectations, the number of submissions for participation in the Open Call published this year, coming from 48 countries, exceeded 1300. The creative talents selected to participate in the exhibition - hundreds of young designers and/or individuals established in the field of graphic design - demonstrate with their creative point of view the radiance and power of the poster.
