IV Poster Biennale Results The Jury of the Fourth International Socio-Political Poster Biennial debated at the International Youth Meeting Centre (MDSM) in Oswiecim, Poland, on 17 June 2012. The meeting was chaired by Prof. Klaus Staeck, the world-renowned German graphic artist, the President of the Academy of Arts in Berlin since 2009. Other participants included Prof. Wladyslaw Pluta, a well-known poster artist, lecturer of the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków; Peter Grohmann, representing the AnStifter Foundation of Stuttgart; Krzysztof Dydo, founder and co-owner of the prestigious Poster Gallery in Kraków; Pawel Warchol, outstanding graphic artist, initiator and curator of MBPS-P in Oswiecim, Leszek Szuster, MDSM Director, and Joanna Kleczar, art historian, and the Project Coordinator representing MDSM. 129 artists from 17 countries participated in our Competition, from Belarus, Belgium, China, Czech Republic, Germany, Greece, Iran, Israel, Japan, Poland, Rumania, Russia, Slovakia, Taiwan, Turkey, Ukraine, and USA). From among 274 posters sent to us by artists, 75 were qualified for the Competition Exhibition. The Jury members emphasized an exceptionally high performance level of entries. The majority of the posters deserved presentation, but it was not possible owing to space limitation. During the vacation time, we will prepare a trilingual Catalogue of this year's Poster Biennial edition. The Competition Exhibition is planned to take place late in September or early in October 2012.
