ANFACHEN AWARD VII
The Anfachen Award is given to posters that inspire aesthetically and create a stir.
THE TOPIC
Anfachen VII, too, is about the basics. This time we want to see how you perceive, interpret and artistically render the idea of Energy!
CONCENTRATED CREATIVITY
You are free to choose from which personal, political, aesthetic or formal angle you want to approach the subject of „energy“. We accept photographic, painted, graphic and typographic works. With your participation you accept the following conditions.
PUBLIC
The 25 best posters will be selected by an international jury and will first be displayed in Hamburg. They will confront the public in busy streets and highly frequented squares, become a subject of discussion and reflection, and thus encourage a broad and sustained debate on the topic.

ABOUT THE ANFACHEN AWARD
2016 startete der Anfachen Award mit dem Thema „Frauen“, im zweiten Jahr widmete er sich dem Thema „Toleranz“, im dritten „Wohnen“, im vierten Jahr „Wasser“, im fünften Jahr „Demokratie“
und im sechsten Jahr den Themen „Natur“ und „Menschlichkeit“. Mit hunderten von internationalen Einreichungen, renommierten Jurys und einer einzigartigen Präsentation zunächst in Hamburg und dann in weiteren deutschen und internationalen Städten begeistert der Plakatwettbewerb nicht nur die Teilnehmer:innen, sondern vor allem das Publikum im öffentlichen Raum. Auch die breite Medienresonanz half dem Award von Anfang an dabei, gesellschaftspolitisch brisanten Themen erhöhte Aufmerksamkeit zu verschaffen.
