Bienal del cartel bolivia BICeBé 2025

The Bolivia Design and Poster Biennial (BICeBé) presents its International Poster Call for BICeBé 2025 and invites graphic designers from around the world to participate in this prestigious event, which is part of the global poster design agenda.

BICeBé is one of the most significant graphic design, communication, and visual arts events in Latin America. Over the years, the Main Exhibition has expanded with inspiring content focusing on cultural, social, and contemporary themes. In 2021, the biennial received 11,521 posters from 91 countries. However, the biennial’s scope extends beyond just poster design.

Each edition of BICeBé provides a platform for renowned national and international professionals, fostering an inclusive and equitable approach. It recognizes that innovation, knowledge, and history are invaluable assets in creating an ideal space for reflection, projection, and the ongoing education of future generations.

The 2025 International Call aims to showcase the best of design and creativity, inviting all ICoD members to share it within their networks—whether with colleagues, students, educational institutions, or cultural representatives. Submissions are open at: www.bicebebolivia.com/poster-submission.
