“The 100 Best Posters” is a competition with a long history: for more than 25 years, it has showcased significant poster design from the DACH region. The accompanying exhibitions travel around 16,000 kilometers, visiting more than seven countries across two continents.

To mark its 25th anniversary, a very special exhibition was created: 100 outstanding posters were once again selected from the past 25 years. The selection illustrates the development of graphic design across decades while also demonstrating how timeless and relevant these works remain to this day.

With this exhibition and its accompanying book, we celebrate 25 years of “The 100 Best from Germany, Austria and Switzerland”.

At the opening event, three invited guests will give short speeches:
Prof. Susanne Stahl – President of the 100 Best Posters Association. Designer, author and professor at the Potsdam University of Applied Sciences. Founder of the design studio Stahl R.
Prof. Fons M. Hickmann – President of the 100 Best Posters Association. Designer, author and professor at the Berlin University of the Arts.
Prof. Niklaus Troxler – Graphic designer and founding member of the 100 Best Posters Association.
