The German Student Union's poster competition has been held annually since 1987. It is sponsored by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). The poster competition is aimed at students of graphic design, visual communication or communication design who are studying at a state or state-recognized university in Germany. The themes of the competition are university and socio-political topics from the students' everyday lives. The specified topics are implemented creatively by the students and communicated via strikingly pointed messages in the form of a DIN A1 poster. Prizes totaling 10,000 euros will be awarded.
