Brief

What makes you agonize about your future? Which do you consider the most important value in a person? What is at the top of your mind when you wake up in the morning? What makes you feel good just thinking about it? What do you keep hidden deep inside you? What do you want to say to people around you, but don’t know how to express it? What is your opinion on important issues for humanity? What is your personal opinion that you want to share?

The only possible way for us to evolve, to develop both our personal and, more importantly, our shared culture, is to discuss and share our views on issues that interest and concern us. To accept everyone’s right to free expression – without diffidence or prejudice. How great would it be to be able to collect the most significant thought from every person on Earth! Perhaps then we would discover that regardless of our place of origin, our gender, race, religion, or culture, we actually care about the same things.

Participants in Poster Battle 2016, on the theme of No selfie thought, no culture, are called upon to visualize their personal – selfie – thoughts on a subject that they, personally, consider significant (for example: the future, health, love, friendship, human rights, everyday life, environ- ment, relationships, etc.).
