The "100 best posters" exhibition from Germany, Austria and Switzerland opened in Berlin on Thursday. Over a quarter of the award-winning works came from Switzerland. A remarkable result considering that only 14 percent of the 1,458 posters submitted came from Switzerland. The 100 award-winning posters (78) and poster series (22) came from 80 entrants (of which D: 58, CH: 19 and A: 3). In terms of the proportion of prize-winning works from the three countries, the "100 best posters 2005" are divided into three times Austria, 28 times Switzerland and 69 times Germany. The exhibition runs until June 25, 2006.
In the fall, the exhibition will be shown in Lucerne and Vienna, followed by China and Japan.
The Swiss contributions advertise Aarau culture, charity work and toothpaste, among other things, according to a press release. The Velvet agency is represented five times with posters for the Münchnet Kammerspiele. Three advertisements for SBB Cargo by Euro RSCG also received awards.
