We are inviting you to become a part of the GDFS family, and support our International Poster Exhibition through a small cash donation. 

As GDFS does not receive funding or support, achieving the quality we aspire to is difficult. We're doing this for love, so please show your support, a little help from you can go a long way.

GDFS was founded in 2014 by Beth Wilson and James Gilchrist. The festival promotes the best of international graphic design and visual communication and aims to inspire and educate through active engagement. Networking and socialising play a key role in the festival and we aim to build relationships and networks across the world. This year the festival takes place between the 20th - 25th October in Glasgow, Scotland.

Your contribution will fund:

- Competition prize money: 1st place: £500, 2nd place: £300, 3rd place: £100

(We feel it is important to honour the winners of the poster competition with prize money to support and encourage the future design of posters)

- Hanging system for the posters and exhibition materials

(This year we would like to invest money into hanging systems which can be reused for future exhibitions) 

- Archiving of the artworks after the exhibition

(We receive many poster entries from across the world and believe it is important to archive these properly and securely)

Thank you for your time and we would be honoured to have your name on our A1 poster catalogue. We hope to see you at the opening night to enjoy and celebrate the amazing posters from across the world. 

We would appreciate if you could share this with anyone who would be interested in joining the GDFS family!
