If you have designed a poster for any theatre event over the past four years, you might like to submit it for an international theatre poster competition, ITO 96, being held in Germany.

   The competition, which is being organised by the International Theatre Osnabruck (ITO), welcomes theatre posters from all over the world published in 1992-1996.

    The posters can cover any kind of event relating to today's international theatre scene.

  ITO 96 will comprise three events: the competition, an exhibition of the 150 best posters, and a symposium on 'visual communication and theatre'.

   The competition is open internationally to all persons or groups, and the posters should have been designed and printed after January 1, 1992.

  The theatre posters can relate to plays, operas, operettas, musicals, ballets, dance theatre, cabaret, revue, puppet theatre, experiments using film or dramatic scenes and also general theatre advertising.

   The posters should be at least 42 x 60 cm in size. Applicants should send two copies of each poster (which should not be framed or glued to any other material), together with a completed entry form, and preferably with a photograph of the designer.

   Application forms are available at the Goethe-Institute Hong Kong, 14/F, Hong Kong Arts Centre, Wan Chai.

     The panel of adjudicators will include artists, university professors, journalists, theatre directors, doctors, industrial managers and students.

   The posters will be judged according to their originality, aesthetic quality, communicativeness, and creativity.

     The results will be announced on October 15. The prize-giving will be held at the opening of the exhibition in Osnabruck on January 11, 1997.

  The prizes are as follows: first prize - about $50,650; second prize - about $30,390, and third prize about $20,260.

    Winners will be notified by letter, and the best 150 entries will be published in a special catalogue.

  The exhibition will be open to the public from January 11, 1997, in the Osnabruck Stadthalle, and in other German cities throughout 1997 and 1998.

    Rolled-up posters should be sent to the following address before July 31:     ITO 96 Organisationsburo, Dr Erdmut C. August, Auf dem Ziegenbrink 20, D-49082 Osnabruck, Germany. Telephone/fax: (+49) 541 - 530 88.

   For entry form and details, call Ms Carly Wong at the Goethe-Institute Hong Kong on 2802 0088 or fax 2802 4363.
