THE 40 WINNING POSTERS OF POSTERHEROES 15 AT GRAPHIC DAYS Vol.11

From 3,718 submissions across 109 countries, an international jury has selected 40 winning posters for Posterheroes 15. The theme is Still Human. The first exhibition take place in Turin during Graphic Days® Vol.11 + award Ceremony on October 24.

Posterheroes is a long-running international poster competition and cultural project based in Turin, rooted in the idea that graphic design can be a space for reflection and a tool for social engagement. For its 15th edition, the theme was Still Human: an invitation to consider what it means to hold onto humanity in an era of acceleration, noise and instability.
The response was extraordinary. 3,718 posters were submitted from 109 countries, each one a designer’s attempt to answer the same question through image and type. From that global field, an international jury selected 40 winning works. All 40 are considered equal: there is no ranking among them.

The winning designers are Pierpaolo Scrivano, Gianni Rossi, Laura Sarmati, Ardit Coku, Sonja Hamann, Marko Skrbic, Milad Aghazadeh, Yuki Takahashi, Valentina Ospina Córdoba, Sofia Kriklii, Renan Torquato, Xia Hong Ong, Nemanja Dragojlovic, Maria Gilda Perri, Davide Nolfo, Roberta Lonardi, Valentina Pombo Quinteros, Yusuf Gencer, Ivana Jurić, Georgii Ermakov, Soroush Hemat, Josip Mijić, Jialiang Fu, Klimenko Waldemar, Roberta Vottero, Giulia Serafin, Marina Hurford, Aleksandra Budnik, Arman Harutyunyan, Massimo Mosciatti, Paolo Ionà, Marta Morón Morales, Vesa-Matti Juutilainen, Ricardo Zúñiga, Aida Hosseinzadeh, Helena Moreno Marco, Giada Elena Formica, Fergie Valentina García Hurtado, Naandeyé García Villegas and Chiara Basile.

Award Ceremony and First Exhibition

On Saturday 24 October at 2:00 PM, the 40 winning posters will be exhibited together for the first time at Cantieri Gruppo Building, Via A. Banfo 43, Turin. 

The occasion is the Posterheroes 15 Award Ceremony, taking place as part of Graphic Days® 2026 under this year’s festival theme, Disorder.

The ceremony is the moment when the winning posters move from screen to wall. It is also when the Special Mentions and additional awards will be revealed for the first time. The projects selected by partners for cash prizes, as well as in-kind awards from media and creative partners, remain undisclosed until the event.
The exhibition sits within a broader context. During Graphic Days® 2026, the contemporary works of Posterheroes 15 will enter into dialogue with a selection of posters and objects from the Olivetti collection, made available by the Associazione Archivio Storico Olivetti. The encounter brings together different visual languages and sensibilities across time, united by the capacity of graphic design to go beyond communication and become a cultural tool and an interpreter of change.

The event is free to attend. Registration is available on Eventbrite.
