We aim to use creativity as a bond to convey positive values and, through the collective creative synergy and influence of global creators, contribute to building a better world.”
The 2025 Poster For____. International Poster Competition has invited 30 distinguished professionals from 14 countries and regions, all highly renowned and influential in the design field, to form the jury panel.

This award and international exhibition demonstrate our students’ ability to address social issues through design and communicate their ideas globally. The university will continue to support students in participating in high-level international competitions and engaging in design practices for real-world scenarios, cultivating innovative talents with a global perspective and social responsibility, while contributing to the realization of social value in the field of art and design.
