Plaktivat 15 Poster Design Competition: ’Blood Donation’

About Competition

The TAM-TAM Institute, in association with the Blood Transfusion Centre of Slovenia and the Slovenian Red Cross, has announced the 15th Plaktivat – a socially responsible poster competition. It aims to inspire and raise awareness of the importance of blood donation as a pillar of humanity in developed societies.

Plaktivat is an international socially responsible competition, an activator of social consciousness, which promotes the creation of city posters and encourages positive changes in society. The competition is held twice a year and is intended for independent designers and design groups from all over the world. Students can participate in the competition’s “Fresh Blood” category.

Posters should primarily focus on blood donation, and their message should aim to inspire and motivate the general public to donate blood, with the emphasis on the younger generations. Organizers mission is to help boost blood donation around the world and inspire new volunteers by means of original creative poster designs, so that the wider community will come to better understand and appreciate the sincere, compassionate and open-hearted people like blood donors. They are the anonymous heroes who save lives.

Submitted works are evaluated by an expert panel, composed of internationally acclaimed creatives and designers. The winner and finalists will be announced in early January 2023 on TAM-TAM’s website and social media.
