Graphic Stories Cyprus invited all the creative people to take part in the 1st international poster contest titled “Nicosia: The City of Utopia” and to see their work printed, by creating their own postcard.

The international contest was part of the 3rd Conference on Graphic Design and Visual Communication in Cyprus that took place on 10-12 of March 2017, in Nicosia.

The creative idea of the competition in relation to the design of the poster, relied on the special architectural character of the fortification walls of Nicosia and in the basic principles of the utopian foundation of a society which are reflected in the Renaissance design of city. The theme of the competition, but also the corresponding exhibition are actions that have as their overarching objective, through the symbolism of the design of fortification walls of Nicosia, to view history, culture, arts and architecture of a city that was and remains to this day a crossroad of cultures, arts and literature and can sight a future without walls and without borders.
