Shanghai International Poster Competition was hosted by the Information Office of Shanghai Municipality, the Foreign Affairs Office of Shanghai Municipal People’s Government, the Bureau of Shanghai World Expo Coordination and Shanghai Library. Since the competition opened in May, it has attracted warm interest from professional designers, students majoring in art and design and design buffs all over the world.

Entries vary in style and content. Some describe the typical scenery of Shanghai city; some focus on the cooperation and communication between city and country; some pay attention to the “harmonious city” and the great changes and charms of Shanghai. The chairman of judges Mr Han Binghua says: The aesthetic value of these entries surprised the judges. Many entries combine originality, art factors and professional design techniques, the world and China, and Shanghai characteristics as well.

The judges were Alexander Gelman (the United States), Hon Bingwah (Hong Kong), Lise Klint (Denmark), Shin Matsunaga (Japan), Shen Haopeng (Chinese mainland), Wang Min (Chinese mainland) and Wang Yuefei (Chinese mainland).
