Posterheroes has opened the 15th edition of their international social design contest — Still Human, dedicated to exploring humanity and human diversity in the Age of Artificial Intelligence.
Every year, Posterheroes invites students, professional designers, and everyone who is into graphic design to create a poster about topics of social interest.
All the works are judged by a selection panel composed of some of the most relevant graphic design and visual communication experts that choses 40 winning posters. Among the forty (40) winners, the Organizers will award the Favini Prize, worth €2,500 and the Time2 Prize, worth €1,500.
Favini, in collaboration with the Cultural Association Plug, will select twelve (12) posters among the forty (40) winners for the production of the 2027 Calendar. All authors of the forty (40) winning works will receive a copy of the 2027 Calendar.
Posterheroes 15 – Still Human invites designers and creatives to explore the jagged boundary between delegation and responsibility, automation and choice, efficiency and creativity, generation and creation, norms and transformation. The goal is not to judge technology, but to make its effects and imaginaries visible.
In an era where Artificial Intelligence shapes language, relationships, perception, and power, we question what it means to be human.
If machines can produce, optimize, predict, and recommend, where does human agency stand today?
What remains indispensable about human experience in a world increasingly governed by code, data, and algorithmic models?
Does authorship remain an individual act, or is it increasingly taking the form of a process shared between human and machine?
What kind of society do the imaginaries generated by artificial intelligence allow us to glimpse?
In a system capable of generating endlessly, human value emerges in choices, responsibility, and intention: in the ability to interpret, give meaning, and open unexpected possibilities.
Still Human invites the creation of posters that express how human experience transforms through the ongoing interaction between artificial intelligence, technology, and society.
Participation is free of charge and open to creatives of any age or nationality, to both individual authors and groups.
Posterheroes 2026 – Still Human is an illustration, graphic design, and social communication competition organized by the non-profit Cultural Association Plug, with the support of Favini S.r.l., ITC-ILO and Fondazione Time2
