Details of International Reggae Poster Contest
Applications for the International Reggae Poster Contest 2020 are now open. This year’s theme is “Reggae Music: Messages from Jamaica to the World”.
In the world of design and the arts, there are many poster competitions. Some focus on music, such as jazz and rock; and others on social awareness. But there is only one competition worldwide on reggae music. One of the reasons this music has spread across the globe is because reggae speaks to our heart and our mind about a wide range of social and political issues.
For this 7th contest, they would like entries to focus on the messages that reggae and all the other genres of Jamaican popular music are spreading globally. They are looking for creative visual expressions that capture those issues and showcasing them through the energy and the vibe of Jamaican culture, at home and internationally.
The objective of the International Reggae Poster Contest is to build awareness for positive reggae music and to celebrate the global achievements of reggae and its impact on the world. The term reggae, as used by the contest, encompasses all the popular Jamaican musical genres; ska, rocksteady, roots reggae, dub, dancehall and the unique Jamaican soundsystem.
