About Opportunity

The internationally recognized B.I. International Poster Art Biennale, in collaboration with Namseoul University, invites artists from around the world to participate in its third edition. This year’s event focuses on art posters that not only capture public attention but also evoke empathy and encourage deeper engagement from viewers. This is an open competition with no restrictions on subject matter. Submissions are accepted in the categories of culture, stage, public affairs, society, and commerce, with the requirement that all posters incorporate artistic expression and experimentation. The Biennale will showcase a diverse range of graphic arts through exhibitions that celebrate cultural diversity. An international jury will conduct a two-step selection process to determine the finalists, with a total of 100 finalist posters to be displayed at Gallery BI. In addition to providing a platform for artists to promote their work, the event also offers visitors the opportunity to purchase posters they find compelling.
