International Fair Plovdiv and UFI, the global association of the exhibition industry, have jointly announced ‘Experience the rush’, by senior art director, Parag Bandodkar and senior visualiser, Kamlesh Murudkar, from Informa Markets India, as the Grand Winner of the 24th International Fair Poster Competition.
The competition, which returned for the first time since the onset of the pandemic, celebrates the creativity of modern exhibition marketing in the classical poster format.
The competition’s 2022 theme was the “promotion of the exhibition industry on the subject of ‘face-to-face’ or post-pandemic recovery.”
The jury evaluated the entries based on topic interpretation, design concept, originality and integrity of technical parameters. They were particularly impressed by the relevant concept and clever execution of ‘Experience the rush’, depicting a crowded fair reflected in a man’s animated eyes.
Kostadin Otonov, chairman of the International Fair Poster (IFP) Jury, post artist and lecturer, Academy of Fine Art, commented: “We were very happy to see the quality and depth of entries this year. Congratulations to the team at Informa Markets India for their follow-up win from 2019.”
