I believe a yearly subscription to the regularly published Graphis Journal is a must for any creative in the field of communication design and art including photography and illustration.

For each of the Graphic annuals, there is a world-wide competition.Up to 500 entries from each competition are included in the online archive for future reference.With over 150,000 individual pieces of work in it’s repository, Graphis has the most significant collection of creative excellence worldwide and includes one of the most extensive archives of the work and biographical material from all periods dating back to 1944 when it was founded in Switzerland.

Graphis has just announced the winners for the 2021 Photography Annual and I am thrilled that my series of seven photographs to be among them.
