Hong Kong Heritage Museum —— Multiverse - Hong Kong International Poster Triennial 2024

Description

The “Hong Kong International Poster Triennial” jointly presented by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department and the Hong Kong Designers Association, and organised by the Hong Kong Heritage Museum, is now in its eighth edition since its debut in 2001. The theme of this Triennial is “Multiverse”, exploring how the function of posters as a medium for conveying messages can be extended in an era where digital, technological, and multimedia techniques are widely used. We invite designers worldwide to unleash their creativity to pioneer new fields that are diverse and interdisciplinary. The call of entry of this Triennial is divided into four categories, namely “Thematic: Multiverse”, “Promotion of Cultural Programmes”, “Commercial and Advertising” and “Animated Poster”. A total of 3,189 entries from 55 countries/ regions were received.

This year, two independent specialist judging panels are formed by prominent international designers and team. Members of the printed poster judging panel are Eric Chan (Hong Kong, China), Huang Hai (China), Felix Pfäffli (Switzerland), Shinnoske Sugisaki (Japan) and Eva Wendel (Germany). Members of the animated poster judging panel are Henry Chu (Hong Kong, China), Thomas Widdershoven (the Netherlands), and team Tin Nguyen and Edward Cutting (Australia/the United States). The judges have gone through online judging, video conferencing, as well as onsite judging for printed posters to assess the entries based on originality, creativity and technical competence. Ultimately, 155 entries including 18 award-winning entries and 137 selected entries, as well as works contributed by the international judges are featured in the exhibition. Through graphic design, we traverse the infinite boundaries of creative imagery with the audience.
