This year, for the sixth 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 September. 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). In addition, 500 copies of the winning poster design will be printed and displayed throughout Switzerland after the festival, courtesy of APG|SGA.


THEME: ORIGINAL & COPY The original and the copy are two terms which are used in printmaking. There is the original and the print template from which any number of copies and proofs can be made. Can this law be broken and all the requirements of modern printing and design techniques changed so that every copy becomes an original? In a stylistic capacity, the terms original and copy are also not uninteresting. A generation of designers often cites earlier eras or builds on its achievements. Where is the moment in which the copy of a style becomes something new, something original and when does the copy merely remain a copy?
