The prizes given at Lahti 20th International Poster Triennial 2017Grand Prix Jianping He Germany Design X Taipei 2015 International jury: It's a poster with a huge political impact and the same time with a sence of irony, because the illustration of Chiang Kai-shek is made out of newspaper advertisements. One can read the poster as a clash between communism and capitalism. 1. palkinto /First prize Grafia Tapani Aartomaa Prix Mark Bohle Germany Yum-Yum! 2015 International jury: This poster licks your eyes! It's on the edge of disgust and taste. The illustration and the silkscreen print is crafted perfectly. Second prize Lahti Prix Yuan Wang Germany Polis Posters by Uwe Loesch 2016 International jury: This work is a good example of cultural transfer. The young designer from China made a poster for an exhibition of the influencial german graphic designer Uwe Loesch. It's a contemporary interpretation of Loesch's visual themes. The Lauri Tarasti prize for environmental poster Piotr Depta-Kleśta Poland Relay Race 2016 International jury: This non-verbal poster works perfectly internationally. With a sence of humor it themes a very intergenerational problem. The poster reminds us of the necessity of saving nature and climate contracts. Independence Posters prize Eemi Räsänen Finland Epic 2016 International jury: The number and level of the posters was unfortunately not so high. Though the winner convinced us with the quality of the illustration.
