The large-format winning posters will initially be displayed in the streets and public squares in Hamburg from June 11th, 2024, with a tour of the posters being planned thanks to our cooperation partnerships. The patron of Anfachen Award is once again Klaus Staeck, who is best known in Germany for his political poster art.

Since 2016, Anfachen Award has been dedicating itself to society’s explosive topics each year. With hundreds of international submissions, renowned juries and a unique presentation, first in Hamburg and then in other German and international cities, the poster competition not only inspires the participants, but above all the public. It thus ignites social discourse in a constructive way wherever the posters are displayed.
