1.⁠ ⁠Bridges, Not Walls: Unity in a Divided World

Political divisions and isolationist policies threaten international collaboration.
This theme challenges designers to illustrate the power of unity and cooperation across nations.
Whether through cultural exchange, economic partnerships, or humanitarian efforts, posters should emphasize that diplomacy and mutual support create stronger societies.
Imagery could include interconnected hands, cultural bridges, or nature transcending borders.

🇨🇦 Canadian Perspective:

Neighbours, Not Rivals: Canada & the U.S. in a Changing World Trade tensions, shifting alliances, and diplomatic challenges redefine the Canada-U.S. relationship.
Should we build walls or bridges? Designers can depict symbols of partnership, such as trade routes, handshake imagery, or blended national identities.

2.⁠ ⁠The Narcissist’s Mirror: When Ego Shapes Policy

When leaders prioritize personal power over national well-being, policies become self-serving rather than beneficial for the people.
This theme critiques political narcissism and its consequences, urging designers to showcase distorted reflections of power, authoritarian imagery, or leaders blinded by their own egos.

🇨🇦 Canadian Perspective:

Stronger Together: Defending Diversity in Canada prides itself on inclusivity, but rising global nationalism threatens this identity. How can we visually celebrate diversity? Posters might feature a multicultural mosaic forming Canada, diverse hands holding the maple leaf, or a contrast between unity and division.
