ISPB 2015

ISPB Lublin is the biggest international young poster competition in Poland.

The second edition is aimed not only at students, but also at young professionals and graduates of art and architecture faculties or academies of fine arts, who are up to 15 years after graduation. 

Apart from being a cultural event, Biennale is a great opportunity to follow and compare the achievments of young artists from various countries. The first edition, held in 2013, has drawn more than 1000 submissions from over 20 countries. This variety of multicultural perspectives has aroused a lot of interest and appreciation. The competition has created a space for dialogue and discussion, as the works have touched upon different subject matters, at the same time displaying high esthetic value.
