The «When art has to move» campaign named «Poster of the Year 2021». Trophies presented to the winners in person and all prize-winning works showcased in an award winners’ video.

The award in the «Poster of the Year 2021» category goes to Welti-Furrer Fine Art AG and its agency Ruf Lanz, Zurich, for the campaign «When art has to move».
