Are you a graphic designer or visual artist fascinated by the intersection of technology and humanity? Organized by the Italy-based Cultural Association Plug, the 2026 Posterheroes Contest is an international social communication competition calling for powerful poster designs.
This year, the contest is completely free to enter and invites creatives globally to visually explore the profound cultural, social, and ethical impacts of artificial intelligence.
Theme: Still Human
The 2026 theme asks a critical question: In an increasingly automated world, what does it mean to be Still Human?
Participants are encouraged to provoke a collective reflection on how AI and complex algorithms are actively influencing our daily perceptions, personal choices, and our collective imagination. How is technology reshaping society, and where do we draw the ethical lines?
