About the International poster competition
In 1990, the Chaumont Poster Festival was founded upon a revelation. A few years earlier, thousands of posters from the 19th century that were kept in the municipal library, had been rediscovered and restored. In recognition of the significance of exhibiting these works from the Belle Epoque, a festival was created. Also, a contemporary counterpart to the collection of vintage posters was imagined: the organization of an international competition in order to present poster makers of the present times and to build up a collection. The festival opened up to a lesson in cultural heritage.
The applying posters have to be produced in a context of an effective command. The juries, made up of practitioners recognized by their peers, reply to the demanding nature and strengthen the credibility of such a competition seeking to address professionals and display the brightest and the best.
The identity of the competition is defined around the authors’ writing, the topicality of the forms and the quality of the commissioning. The selection is to be a panoramic exhibition of the best contemporary creation in the field of poster making.
In 2017, the Chaumont poster festival became the Biennial of graphic design of Chaumont. The Biennale is organized by le Signe, centre national du graphisme, opened in October 2016 as a continuation of the history of graphic design in Chaumont.
The international jury selected from more than 2,000 posters that applied in the contest, 146 posters, exhibited in le Signe from May 13 to September 24, 2017, at the Graphic Design Biennial of Chaumont.
In order to honor the International Poster Competition, le Signe devotes to the selection of the competition the most important exhibition of its existence, with a scenography by Jean Schneider.
The exposition the International Competition is a tool: a tool of transmission about the issues and aesthetics of contemporary graphic design. This interface enables a focus on the virtuosity of the designers, their graphic tools and the diversity of the world of print.
The catalog of the exhibition is designed by Helmo and published by le Signe.

Biennale de design graphique, May 13 - September 24 2017 in Chaumont. Poster by Formes Vives
Like the poster of the Biennale de design graphique of Chaumont, created by Formes Vives, this first edition is meant to be friendly, festive, focused on discussion, exchange, reflection, openness and celebration. The program is like the carrot placed on the table — le Signe, gathering around itself a diverse audience, figured by the characters, who may also be looking through the window.
This year, the program will be covering four months, and featuring the numerous and intense events, starting on May 13. Exhibitions, participative workshops, lectures, concerts, meetings, exchanges will enlive Chaumont and present graphic design and its different forms and expressions.
After the recent opening of le Signe, the Biennale feels like a housewarming party, where everyone is invited, neighbors, friends or travellers… Welcome everyone !
