Award Details

The subject for the 2020 Award is Still Going Strong.

With Not (Yet) Cancelled, this year’s Weltformat Graphic Design Festival investigates the effects of change and transformation on design. Dynamics, upheaval, movement: The festival discusses challenges related to constant change and exceptional circumstances but especially the potential and opportunities that come along with it.

In recent months we have all been confronted with changes, limitations and cancellations. However, the relevance and power of design remain undiminished. Why is graphic design and the visibility of it so important – especially in times of uncertainty? Show that you are still here despite – or perhaps because of – extraordinary circumstances. Let the world know: You are still going strong.
