Theme of the competition: Right to Education

The theme of the Penta Poster International Poster Exhibition, organized for the first time this year, is the right to education!

As inequalities in access to information deepen, every mind left without education actually represents a missing piece of our future. Today, the right to education is not merely a preference but an inevitable necessity for societies to survive.

Art is the most powerful trigger for social transformation. Statistics alone are no longer sufficient to convey that education is a right not only within four walls but in every aspect of life; we all need to shout out this truth through a visual language.

As designers, we are tasked with carrying the light of knowledge to dark corners. This exhibition is the expression of a global voice regarding the universality and the unstoppable nature of education.

Carrying genuine hope for the future entails eliminating injustices in education. Every poster is a call, and every design is a powerful step taken for change itself. We view this exhibition not as a warning, but as a new beginning based on the transformative power of education.
