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 characterises humanity is therefore necessary.
It is time to transcend the normal and embrace the beauty of diversity.
OVERVIEW

By addressing international social and environmental issues, the competition sparks productive debates and raises awareness about the challenges we face as a global society.
