The TAM-TAM Institute, in cooperation with the Slovenian Association of Friends of Youth and TOM phone, is announcing an international competition for a socially responsible city poster on the theme of “Adolescents’ distress”.

The call is open to all graphic designers, whether individuals, freelancers, students or pupils, agencies or legal entities wishing to co-create a shared living space. The call for applications pays special attention to students who will compete in the “Fresh Blood” category, where a winner will also be announced. All entrants who indicate “student status” on their entry form will be automatically entered in this category.

Winners and finalists will be selected in both competition categories and the winners (and Student finalists) will be awarded with a plaque. The best posters will be exhibited across Slovenia.
