9. Skopje Poster Festival „Identity in Crisis” exceeded our expectations. Our competition has noted permanent increase of the number of the poster submissions in the last couple of years, this year compared to the previous one the number of applications received is 33% higher. More importantly, the number of the Academies and Schools that are willing to start collaboration and to include Skopje Poster competition as part of their educational programs is pleasant surprise and we received it with great pleasure.
The international jury: Finn Nygaard from Danmark, Fons Hickmann from Germany, Michel Bouvet from France, Ryszard Kaja from Poland and Toni Vasikj from Macedonia have had selected 50 finalist that qualified unto the next final selection round which will reveal two equal winners which will join us to 10.
