In partnership with the ‘Verein 100 Beste Plakate e.V.’, the Kunstbibliothek is presenting the ‘100 Best Posters of 2016’ from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. The jury, made up of Alain Le Quernec, Eva Dranaz, Markus Dressen, Stefan Guzy, and Martin Woodtli, made the selection from a total of 2,116 posters. The competition attracted submissions by 632 entrants, including 183 students.

In the categories for commissioned work, fine-art posters, and student project assignments, the high quality of contemporary graphic design is once again in clear evidence. The initial exhibition, featuring a presentation of more than 100 posters and the ​launch of the yearbook, will open at the Kulturforum, after which there will be opportunities to see the show in Essen, Nuremberg, Lucerne, Vienna, La Chaux-de-Fonds, and Zürich.
