Success for Design Students at the »100 Beste Plakate« Competition

Two Visuelle Kommunikation (Visual Communication) students from the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar are being recognised for their submissions to the renowned »100 Beste Plakate« competition for the 100 best posters in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Helene Dennewitz and Ossian Osborne were each awarded one of the coveted prizes. Competition was fierce again this year: A total of 2509 posters from 711 entrants were submitted to the competition.

Visuelle Kommunikation (Visual Communication) student Helene Dennewitz’s poster was inspired by a childhood memory that likely brings a smile to most people’s faces: Summer, sun, outdoor pool nostalgia. Her poster, titled »Pommes&chlor« (french fries & chlorine) was designed in the summer semester 2024 »Art, Countries & Visual Identities« course. The task was to create a visual identity for any object the students chose. »My arbitrary object became the theme of an outdoor swimming pool,« explains Dennewitz. »The poster’s design is inspired by the aesthetics of water wings and the warnings and safety markings printed on them, including their typical neon orange colour.« The posters were created using an off-set printing process in the Faculty of Art and Design’s Printing Workshop.

Ossian Osborne, also a Visuelle Kommunikation (Visual Communication) student, has had a poster chosen for the second time in a row. This year, he was recognised for his »Bauhaus Master Lectures« poster depicting lecture series. The design questions the meaning and nature of certifications: Who certifies whom? And what is behind it? Osborne’s design announces the lectures and was produced in the Faculty’s own Printing Workshop using screen printing techniques in cyan and bronze. »We produced certificates in cyan with copper foil embossing for the individual guest lecturers, which they received after their presentations«, says Osborne. Accompanying animations produced by Ivan Djambov provide a look behind the scenes of the design and document the workshop where the poster was created.

The jury for the competition is made up of five individuals and changes every year. This year, the jury was made up of Adeline Mollard (Zurich), Anouk Rehorek (Studio Anouk Rehorek, Vienna), Hans Günter Schmitz (schmitz Visuelle Kommunikation, Wuppertal), Stephanie Specht (Specht Studio, Antwerp) and Jonas Wandeler (Atlas Studio, Zurich).

The winning posters are included in a worldwide exhibition tour. The posters from the »100 Beste Plakate 24« competition will be on display at the Kulturforum for three weeks. The opening event is scheduled for Thursday, 12 June 2025 and can be attended without an invitation. Admission to the exhibition is free of charge.

Helene Dennewitz’s work was supervised by Markus Weisbeck, Professor of Graphic Design, and artistic staff member Adrian Palko. Ossian Osborne was supported by artistic staff members Marcel Saidov and Adrian Palko.
