CALL FOR ENTRIES: ZGRAF 10
31.12.2007 News
Zagreb (Croatia) - ZGRAF is an international
triennial exhibition of graphic design and visual communications held
in Zagreb, Croatia since 1975. ZGRAF is organised by the ULUPUH, the
Croatian Association of Artists of Applied Arts, a Professional Member
of Icograda.
Throughout the years, ZGRAF exhibitions have gathered designers, theoreticians and critics in order to discuss essential design issues and design status in contemporary society, including: the importance of design as a profession (ZGRAF 1); the relationships between graphic design and art (ZGRAF 3); the importance of education and the establishment of a design school (ZGRAF 5); the advance of digital technology in design - web design and multimedia as new design segments (ZGRAF 8); and the role and social responsibility of design and designers in the area of advertising (ZGRAF 9).
ZGRAF 10
ZGRAF invites international submissions in two sections: a traditional Review of graphic design production and a special Theme section: Local/Global. Work submitted for the Review must have been produced between 1 January 2004 and 15 February 2008. Work for the Theme section may be produced especially for the occasion.
Theme: Local/Global
The tenth jubilee of our international exhibition of graphic design and visual communications is held at the time when dominant media of visual expression, dominant visual art styles, or dominant centres have ceased to exist. Owing to parallel expressions in contemporary visual communications, local and global visual languages can appear simultaneously and on an equal footing with those that have already been recognized and accepted.
A dialogue between authors from different parts of the world, between their works, and between local and global visual languages as the media used to express specific cultural features, may facilitate local and global success of this important exhibition.
ZGRAF 10 aims to be a meeting point of different cultures, a point of confrontation and dialogue between the local and the global, a study point of mutual impacts, a point of respect and connection between differences, a point of verification and learning about new values that may ultimately surface from these encounters.
Selection and awards
Work selected for the exhibition will be chosen by committee: Damir Bralic (Croatia); Dejan Krsic (Croatia); Morana Radanovic (Croatia); Igor Stanisljevic (Croatia); and Slavimir Stojanoviã, Slovenia.
Submissions selected for exhibition will compete for the ZGRAF Awards, chosen by the International Prize-Awarding Committee:
- ZGRAF Grand Prix,
- ZGRAF 1,
- ZGRAF 2,
- ZGRAF Welcome (For Designer/Design Team Under 26 Years Of Age)
