United States International Poster Biennial 2025

The United States International Poster Biennial is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the poster medium in the United States and around the world. Through graphic advocacy and evocative narratives, the USIPB amplifies voices to serve as a demonstration of solidarity, a declaration of defiance, and more often than not, as a call to action.

Design students, graphic designers, artists, photographers, and visual communicators of all kinds are invited to submit posters created between 1 July 2023, and 4 May 2025.

Categories

A. Social — Social posters address critical issues affecting humanity, such as human rights, environmental preservation, and public health.

B. Cultural — Cultural posters celebrate and promote events across the arts, including music, theater, festivals, and exhibitions.

C. Animated — Animated posters combine dynamic elements with traditional poster design, using motion to bring concepts to life.

D. National Parks — Posters that capture the spirit of these parks, highlighting their importance and inviting the public to connect with nature.
