The Haiti Poster Project


^^^click for more info^^^

THE HAITI POSTER PROJECT seeks limited edition sets of posters from artists, designers and design firms from around the world. The donated posters will be sold online to raise money for Doctors Without Borders. As designers, we have the collective ability to do what we love, AND to create a difference. THE HAITI POSTER PROJECT has been conceived as a collective effort by the design community to unite and effect change through our work. In order for this project to be successful, we are counting on designer participation.

  • DEADLINE: March 15th. Submissions after March 15th will also be accepted, but given the timeliness of the situation, we strongly encourage designers to meet this deadline.
  • Posters should be specific to the earthquake in Haiti or THE HAITI POSTER PROJECT.
  • The posters may be graphic or typographic.
  • The posters should be signed and numbered editions in quantities of 25 to 100. The posters should not be one-offs.
  • Minimum size is 11” x 17”. (Ideal size: 18” x 24”.) Poster can be produced by litho, digital or silk-screen print.
  • Posters may include credits for vendors who have donated supplies or services, but please keep them small and unobtrusive.
  • Artists will be responsible for designing, printing, and delivering the posters to HAITI POSTER PROJECT. Although we would like to print them, we don’t have the resources to coordinate all of the printing ourselves.
  • We encourage international submissions.
  • All submissions will become property of THE HAITI POSTER PROJECT, and will be sold to raise funds for the Doctors Without Borders earthquake disaster relief effort. Several posters from each donated set will be retained for possible future exhibition or publication.
  • When you’ve finished your design, please email a PDF or JPEG of finished poster for the site to: info@thehaitiposterproject.com (At least 380px x 480px, please.) Please also include the title of the poster, your name (as you’d like it to appear) and a short paragraph about you and your poster.
