1ST PRIZE 2024 DOMINIK JAKUBOWSKI (POLAND)
During the meeting held on 21 December 2001 a decision was adopted which reads as follows:
"The Board of Directors of Bodegas Terras Gauda, S.A., has unanimously agreed to set up an Advertising Poster Design Competition as a tribute to the artist who was not only solely responsible for the design of the corporate image, but also been a friend, efficient collaborator and partner since the creation of the Company. The winning original will form the basis for the Company's advertising campaign for a two years period".
Terras Gauda Wineries and the Galician Tourism Bureau will collaborate in the awarding of these prizes. The Galician Tourism Bureau, aware of the tradition of this Biennial competition, believes that it is of great interest for promoting tourism in Galicia and, in particular, wine tourism.
Terras Gauda Wineries and the Vigo Port Authority are once again the proud sponsors of the enormous and prestigious communications project that the International Biennial Poster Design Terras Gauda - Francisco Mantecón Competition has become. In an effort to establish a permanent connection between the competition and the city of Vigo and Galicia, both parties have signed a collaborative agreement which will allow the Port of Vigo (one of the most important in the world) to serve as a biannual showcase for avant garde international art through the exhibition of the original Competition entries. The Port will also host meetings of the panel of judges and the award ceremony.
The following announcement is the fruit of this agreement:
This competition is open to any natural (+18) or corporate person subject only to the restrictions imposed by current legislation.
Each participant may present a maximum of two works, which must be previously unpublished. They may be created using any pictorial, photographic or computerized technique, etc. The subject is unspecified, although it should preferably reflect corporate aspects of the organizing entity, i.e., fundamentally in relation to its white Albariño wines: Terras Gauda and Abadía de San Campio. Creativity is highly valued in this sense, as is the inclusion of the company's logo. Terras Gauda Wineries will provide all designers who request it a vectored copy of the organization’s logo for use in the works being created, as well as images of their products. They are available at: www.terrasgauda.com and www.franciscomantecon.com
