Organised by artistic association
Otwarta Pracowniain close cooperation with UMCS Maria Curie (
Skłodowska University in Lublin), the
International Student Poster Biennaleis the biggest international young poster competition in Poland.
Apart from being a cultural event,
Biennaleis a great opportunity to follow and compare the achievments of young artists from various countries. The first edition, held in
2013, has drawn more than 1000 submissions from over 20 countries. This variety of multicultural perspectives has aroused a lot of interest and appreciation. The competition has created a space for dialogue and discussion, as the works have touched upon different subject matters, at the same time displaying high esthetic value.
