1. Competition Background

To improve Taiwanese student’s ability in poster designing, the Taiwan Image Poster Design Association founded the “Taiwan Postar” competition in 2008. The annual poster exhibition, along with the Student Poster Design Competition has promoted interaction between students and designers. Applications further expanded to include international submissions in 2018, thus the competition was renamed "Taiwan International Postar" to provide students with a stage to showcase their design creativity and promote design vision and internationalization.

2. Theme: Regeneration

"Regeneration" refers to a process of reconstruction, recovery and development. All or part of the original use value has been lost during the process of industrial production and personal consumption. This loss points us in the direction of recovery and prompts discovery of the underlying causes.  The process of value conversion and rediscovery is the core of this topic. Regeneration is the search and reminition of the balance between humanity, technological civilization and nature. It seeks to connect human existence with a sustainable and coexisting future from the perspective of design.
