Anfachen Award VII – energy

Deadline: 07.05.2023

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.

BORDERLESS

Starting in July 2022, the selected posters will first dominate Hamburg‘s cityscape for four weeks and then go on tour. In this way they will be seen in other German cities and also cause a stir internationally. Therefore, if language plays a role in the design, a German and an English version must be submitted.

REGISTRATION

Registration is done using the appropriate tool on the Anfachen Award website
anfachenaward.de/http:/registrierung.anfachenaward.de.)

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.
