Thematic Categories

D: Inclusion

We invite students from around the world to participate in Category D: Inclusion. Inclusion embodies a simple truth today: everyone is valued. Nevertheless, acknowledgment alone cannot make a significant difference. To be truly inclusive, we must actively engage in this cause at work, in our classrooms, and in our daily lives. What role might you play in this shared responsibility? How can we all benefit from a culture that is truly inclusive? In your capacity as a student, how might you disrupt dominant structures of exclusivity? Among the many questions surrounding this subject, these are just a few. The USIPB believes that the poster can be a powerful tool to engage in discussion around this topic. We welcome your varied interpretations.

E: History of the United States Poster

From the great masters like Glaser, Chwast, and Scher to lesser known works by a multitude of designers throughout the country, poster design in the United States has a rich history. Our Category E: History of the United States Poster offers design professionals a chance to pay homage to these seminal works in their own voice.
