塞浦路斯邀请邀请来自全世界的设计师和创意人来参加本届“平面设计，挑战认知”国际海报设计大赛，参赛者们也有机会看到他们的作品被印刷成明信片。这次国际比赛是塞浦路斯第五届平面设计和视觉传达会议的一部分，会议将于2019年3月15日至17日在塞浦路斯举行。

大赛主题释义：
设计是地球上千百万人的共同语言，它的力量和有效性归功于创造者的多样性、他们的独特感知和他们异质的根源，但不知道边界、承诺、宗教或绿线。设计已经成为人类塑造环境，从而塑造社会和自己，并引起真正变化的最有力的手段。平面设计具有塑造、影响、挑战并最终改变我们普通感知、理解、解释事物的能力。平面设计需要创造力和想象力，这些都是基于感知的。我们所感知到的不仅仅是我们的眼睛或耳朵带给我们的大脑，它是我们自己头脑的产物。感知是我们所看到的，我们过去的经验和我们对某一情境的特定观点的结合。

它也是通过我们的感官看到、听到或理解某事，然后用逻辑、情感或任何其他方式解释它，最终产生心理印象的能力。

感知不是静态的，但它被改变和成形，受多种因素的影响。视觉传达设计师不仅拥有正确的工具和知识，而且有责任去挑战、影响和改变共同的感知。

本次大赛的主题“平面设计，挑战感知”以及各自的展览，旨在突出和提升平面设计在塑造和挑战共同感知方面的价值。比赛的参与者被邀请可视化他们的想法，想法和关注设计的力量塑造和挑战的感知，他们被要求挑战的感知。
