Call for Entries: #CharacterMatters

...
Pictoplasma invited you to craft a character-powered public service announcement – and submit for a juried exhibition premiere at Pictoplasma Berlin 2025!

Characters can make a change!

In these tough times – with community values under pressure, political stressors abundant, technologies disrupting careers, cultures, conversations, and climates – it’s now or never to look inside, find what matters, and speak up to promote a better world… for humans and characters alike.

We urged you to fight back – by illustrating the value of good character:

Character Matters!

To commemorate the upcoming 21st Pictoplasma Berlin conference on contemporary character design and art, we intend to make such a statement – in the flesh, bound in paper and ink, as proud public service announcements – on the streets and at a vibrant gallery exhibition open to the general public.
Characters can make a change. They can persuade, explain, or dispute with flair, style, and attitude. They can save or sell, propagandize or preach, communicate to all with universal languages of symbolism and cuteness.
If you're with us (and we sure hope you are), we invited you to contribute – by crafting a public service announcement (PSA) poster that shows your original character, what it stands for, and the encouraging slogan “Character Matters”.

UPDATE

With much determination and delight, we have dug our way through the staggering pile of 700+ posters from the #CharacterMatters call for entries and completed the jurying process for the resulting premiere exhibition, set to take place during the upcoming 21st Pictoplasma Berlin, with an opening on April 29 at 6pm.
