International Jury agreed on very much a balanced level of the exhibition, acknowledged the work of organisers and recommended continuation of international triennial EKOPLAGÁT. The collection contained high quality posters, from content as well as art point of view. Well balanced set reflects current development in the field of ecology and poster design. We challenge and support the organisers to continue in organising this event, which prouds itself with long term tradition and response at international scale. Triennial addresses not only design art fans and ecologists, but general public as well. It is important that it addresses young generation as well. This way it directs their attention to burning questions of ecology and influences their thinking, feeling and their actions in the future.
Altogether, 50 authors with 104 posters from 20 countries of Europe, Asia and America joined the triennial EKOPLAGÁT 2014 exhibition and.
For the collection of this year’s Ekoplagát, the Selection Committee on its meeting on 1st of October 2014 chose 102 posters from 49 authors from 20 countries out of all the received posters.
