Equal recognition

This year's theme, "X/100 — Expect Nothing—Appreciate Everything," emphasizes the equality of all participants: no ranking, no priorities—each poster/series is recognized as one of the 100 best by the jury.

This book is a tribute to the art of the poster: a fresh look at modern design, inspiration for future experiments, and a platform for the exchange of ideas.
