We’re pleased to announce we managed to set up an online system to order the catalogue from the Good 50×70 exhibition.

The catalogue includes the best 210 posters from the contest and views of the jury members on the state of graphic design, social communication and how Good 50×70 has progressed in the last year.
It is printed on the same paper as “real” posters are printed on and includes a biography and portrait of each of the designers featured in the catalogue.

Specifications:
480 colour pages, 24×33 cm, Hardback cover, Plastic case

The catalogue can be ordered by clicking here and easily paid through PayPal. The postage costs vary according to where you live, please pay attention to the details in the order forms.

The first batch of orders will be shipped until the end of July, so to receive your catalogue as swiftly as possible, we would appreciate it if you could send your order in before this date.

We were overwhelmed with the turnout for the opening seminar and exhibition - despite the poor weather (at least by Italian standards) the Triennale was filled with visitors who were very complimentary about everything they saw.

We’d like to thank everyone who came to visit us, especially the entrants who came from all over the globe to see their work displayed.

The exhibition is still open until Sunday the 22nd of June in Milan, then will hit the road for a world tour. If you’re interested in hosting a Good 50×70 exhibition, we’re always welcome for suggestions and will travel anywhere.

As we have always been at pains to point out, there are no first, second or third places in Good 50×70’s competition. Every poster that is selected by our jury is of equal merit - they are winners in that they have been chosen by the jury as one of the best responses to the brief, but that doesn’t mean that one of the 210 is ‘better’ than another. They truly are all as important as each other.

And as all of the entries to Good 50×70 are made available to our endorsing charities, every single poster entered to the contest has the chance of being used in a campaign, whether it is chosen by our jury or not. That’s what really matters, and that’s why we started Good 50×70.

We’re happy to see people who are proud of participating in Good 5070 and we want to keep all of you proud of us. What we’re doing together for the charities and beyond is much more important than a first or second place.

Thanks to everyone for their continued support and apologies if there’s been any confusion about this issue.

It’s taken a lot of hard work to get here and we’d like to thank everybody connected with Good 50×70 for all their efforts.

Most of our jurors remarked on the improvement  of the general quality of the posters since last year, and we really hope that we’ll be able to provide the charities with some work they can use in a campaign. After all, that’s what we’re all doing this for.

The winning posters will be exhibited at La Triennale gallery, Milan, from the 10th of June until the 22th of June, and you’re all warmly invited to come along.

The posters will also be collected and published in a catalogue, along with comments from our jurors, that will be available to buy at the exhibition and online.

Congratulations to all the winners, and thanks again to all the participants and everybody else  for playing their part in a hugely successful competition.

Thank you to everyone who entered. The judging will take place in the next two weeks.
The winners will be announced on the 15th of May.

See you then…
