The jury of the Swiss Poster Award has evaluated over 500 posters submitted for the fourth edition of the competition and shortlisted a number of them. In quantitative terms, the numbers of the previous year have not been reached, but the jury has noted a generally higher quality in the posters submitted, according to a press release. The award aims to focus more on the design quality of the posters submitted. The number of jury members has been increased from eleven to seventeen. These include personalities from the fields of design, photography and typography as well as art directors from advertising agencies. The jury selected the winner of the "Swiss Poster Award" from the nominated subjects and awarded a special prize. All Swiss Poster Award prizes will be presented at the APG Poster Night on May 8, 2008 in the Maag Event Hall in Zurich.
