The Hong Kong International Poster Triennial is a major event of the Hong Kong Heritage Museum to document the development of international poster design and to celebrate its achievements at regular intervals. It is structured in 3 parts: a competition, an exhibition and a symposium. The
"2007 Hong Kong International Poster Triennial" is the third time the Museum has organized the Triennial in accordance with the guidelines endorsed by the International Council of Graphic Design Associations.

There is no limitation to the number of entries submitted by each entrant.
The open competition is organized under these categories: 'Ideology', 'Promotion of Cultural Events', 'Commercial and Advertising' and 'Thematic'
posters. Three awards will be selected from each of the four categories.
Seven prominent international designers have been invited to form a judging panel. A Triennial exhibition will be presented in the HKHM to exhibit all selected entries from November 2007 to April 2008. To coincide with the display, an illustrated catalogue will be published. No entry fee required.
