The Culture Project Office invites designers to create posters for democracy and submit them by January 15, 2025. A selection of the submissions will be showcased in February 2025 in the display windows of the former Kaufhof on Königsstraße as part of the "Zukunftsmusik" (music of the future) project. Visitors on-site can vote for their favorites, which will be awarded prize money.

The aim is to create positive imagery for democracy – advertising what democracy is, what it means for individuals and society, what it stands for, or how it can be lived. Submissions with partisan political connotations are excluded.

The call for submissions and related documents are available for download here:
