Sixteenth International Poster Biennial in Mexico (16BICM) International Poster Competition
International Poster Biennial in Mexico (BICM) International Poster Competition
The International Poster Biennial in Mexico is one of the three oldest in the world, and the precursor of its type in America.
Here ideas turn into projects through our international poster competition, where visual creators converge. Every two years, our civil society organization, of the same name, organizes the best positioned poster event in Mexico, which is as well an obligated reference in all five continents. This initiative is the one which has transformed other biennials in the world, granting Mexico’s image and presence abroad, and initiating young people in the teachings of design as a transforming environment. We have been the precursors of the educative format and leaders in the implementation of technologies.
We design poster’s present.
