Posterheroes: Beautifully Diverse Illustration Graphic Contest

Postehreroes 2023 — Beautifully Diverse is a global poster contest about social communication with €2,500 and €1,500 cash prizes. No submission fees. Deadline: August 27th, 2023.

BRIEF

In a world where inequalities are constantly increasing, strengthening cooperation and educating solidarity and empathy to recognize the value and dignity of each individual, regardless of ability or characteristics, is more important than ever. Through collective action, promoting a narrative of disability that is neither positive nor negative but a simple expression of the diversity that characterizes humanity is therefore necessary.
It is time to transcend the normal and embrace the beauty of diversity.
