Under Pressure: Joseph Binder Award 2027

Designers and illustrators are constantly navigating change, expectations and new challenges. In the 17th edition of the Joseph Binder Award, we're taking a light-hearted look at this shared reality – because pressure has always been part of the creative process. Change, even more so.

Graphic designers, illustrators, advertising agencies and students from all over the world are invited to enter their works realized in 2025 and after by October 31, 2026.

The Joseph Binder Award is an international competition with a focus on graphic design and illustration and was first launched in 1996 by designaustria, knowledge centre and advocacy for design in Austria. It is named after one of Austria's most prestigious graphic designers, who also revolutionized visual communication in the United States.

### What's new?

The new "Honored Selection" puts the spotlight on selected designers and illustrators as early as the exhibition opening and Press Day—even before the final ranking is announced; their work is also featured in the renowned JBA catalog and in a traveling exhibition.

And all of this is part of the Joseph Binder Days: two full days (April 28–29, 2027) at the MuseumsQuartier Wien, featuring the exhibition opening, a symposium (free for all award-winning designers and illustrators), the awards ceremony, and an after-show get-together at the designforum Wien.
