FREE ENTRY / Posterheroes 2025: Seeds of Kindness

Posterheroes announces the 14th edition of its international social design contest, dedicated to exploring the transformative power of empathy and kindness. The competition is organised by Associazione Culturale Plug based in Italy.

Every year, Posterheroes invites students, professional designers, and everyone who is into graphic design to create a poster about topics of social interest.

“Seeds of Kindness – A Call to Design Empathy” is the theme of this year’s open call.

In social contexts marked by imbalanced relationships and systemic inequalities - whether in schools, workplaces, public spaces, or digital environments - the lack of empathy fosters exclusion and perpetuates dynamics of bullying, discrimination, and passive indifference. Posterheroes invites participants to convey through design and amplify the power of everyday gestures of care, relationships built on respect, and the richness of human experience in all its diversity.
