The new manager of the yearly poster festival in Chaumont, France, is the well known graphic design journalist Etienne Hervy who wrote me: Dear M Wanner, this mail to indicate to you that the website of the International Festival of Poster and Graphic Design 2010 is now open here: www.chaumont-graphisme.com. As usual, we will organise 2 posters competitions : the first for students about the theme "Graphic design, qu'est-ce que c'est?" and the second one, for professionals and without theme. In addition of this international competition, we will organise a French selection between 10 and 15 choosen by an independent jury with the idea to upgrade in France the visibility of good graphic design (after the festival, thoses posters will be exhibited in French institutions). Obviously a French poster can be selected for the 2 competitions.
