Bulgaria announces international competition for tourist poster
In search of the new image of Bulgaria as an attractive year-round tourist destination, the Ministry of Tourism, in partnership with the International Triennial of the Stage Poster – Sofia, has announced the first International Competition for a Tourist Poster of Bulgaria.
“For the first time, Bulgaria is placed at the centre of an international competition that invites artists and graphic designers from all over the world to create an original poster inspired by Bulgaria – as they know it or are yet to discover it – real, inspiring and unique,” Tourism Minister Miroslav Borshosh said, as quoted in media statement by his ministry.
The aim of the competition is to create a visually impactful poster that presents Bulgaria as an attractive year-round tourist destination.
