Description
The project will create an annual competition to capture the spirit of Miami in a poster. The idea is to go beyond the superficial notions of South Florida and create substantive images that reflect the region’s soul and spirit. Project creator Philip Brooker aims for the poster to be a piece of community interest that will help forge a sense of connection among the region’s disparate population. It will be distributed for free in both a digital and hard copy.
