“We Want Jazz” International Poster Competition 2023

Jazz has numerous hues and perspectives! Dixieland, mainstream, fusion, funk, ethnic, and dance jazz, as well as jazz performed by symphony orchestras, are all examples of jazz. Due to its impromptu nature and propensity for musical discussion amongst the performing artists, it sometimes assumes the quality of consonance and other times is heard as an uncontrollable musical din. The music of synergy, reciprocal listening, and collaborative production is jazz, and organisers wish to present it as such. Jazz is open music, full of improvisation, but also built on the “call and response” idea.

Theme: All That Jazz!

Goal: Popularisation of jazz through the involvement of the international community of graphic artists, as well as the popularisation of Polish and world jazz as music in which everyone will find something for themselves.

The submitted posters will be chosen by the organisers. 25 works were chosen from among them. Three winning posters will be picked from the 25 final posters that have been chosen, and their writers will each receive a final award. Additionally, the jury will present awards. A jury composed of professionals and representatives of the organiser will be established for this purpose and will choose the winning piece and the posters. On October 17, 2023, the competition’s results will be made public on RadioJAZZ.FM, JAZZPRESS, and social media.
