To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Helvetica™ typeface, Linotype™ invites designers worldwide to take part in the Helvetica NOW poster contest. Designers are called to submit their poster design work that has been published between 2000 and 2007 and that uses Helvetica as a primary or secondary typeface.

This contest also invites participants to submit posters (published, unpublished, or new designs) that revolve around the role of type in modern day life, and the way that typography – and Helvetica – affects our perception of the environment. The winners will be selected by popular vote. The format is open but the overall dimensions should be contained within a maximum of 1600×1600 pixels. Only digital files in JPEG format will be accepted. You are free to submit more than 1 entry.
