The International Poster Mint Poster Contest will become a new part of the Wild Mint Music Festival program.
The contest was created to highlight the importance of visual art in modern culture and inspire designers to create unique works reflecting the spirit of Wild Mint — freedom, creativity and unity with nature. The competition brings together designers and artists from all over the world who are ready to show their work inspired by the atmosphere of music and art. According to the results of the competition, the jury team will select the best posters that will be presented at the exhibition in the gallery of the music festival.
The contest is held in collaboration with the Formula GY2+NL team, an art group of international graphic designers united by a passion for posters, creative experiments and vibrant design projects. The group focuses on popularizing graphic design as a part of contemporary art, exploring the cultural diversity that inspires them to create design projects.
