Best IFLA Poster
Involved in an interesting project or in an area of work that you would like to discuss with or show to other congress attendees? Why not present your work in the IFLA Poster Session?
Each year, a jury on behalf of the IFLA Professional Council selects the best poster from those displayed during the World Library and Information Congress.
In 2023, the Professional Council added two additional poster award categories alongside Best WLIC Poster: 1) Visual Impact, highlighting a visually stunning poster, and 2) Viewers’ Choice, which is selected by WLIC attendees.
Visit the current WLIC web pages (under Programme) for more details.
