Plakatdesign: Im Wettbewerb zur Gestaltung des Oktoberfest-Plakats 2008 der Stadt München habe ich den ersten Preis gewonnen. Das Pop-Art-Motiv wurde weltweit auf 7.000 Plakaten und 90.000 Prospekten verwendet und zierte den offiziellen Wiesn-Maßkrug und Fanartikel wie T-Shirts, Gläser, Hüte usw.

Das offizielle Plakatmotiv für das Münchner Oktoberfest 2008 steht fest: Im diesjährigen geschlossenen Wettbewerb um das Oktoberfest-Plakat, der vom Tourismusamt der Landeshauptstadt München veranstaltet wird, wählte die Jury unter 21 Entwürfen von elf Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmern meinen Pop-Art- Entwurf zum Siegermotiv.

Das zu gestaltende Motiv sollte plakativ die Originalität des Oktoberfestes, vor allem die Aspekte Lebensfreude, Lebendigkeit, Humor und liebenswerter Witz zum Ausdruck bringen.

Mein Pop-Art-Motiv in leuchtenden Farben arrangiert die "üblichen Verdächtigen": Freude, Spaß, Herzlichkeit, Lebensfreude, Genuß und – natürlich – auch Bier in Form eines Herzens, eines Riesenrads, einer Breze und eines Bierkrugs. Das plakative und humorvolle Bild wurde mit Tuschepinsel gezeichnet und digital koloriert.

Die Nutzung des Siegerentwurfs
Das preisgekrönte Motiv wird weltweit auf 7.000 Plakaten und 90.000 deutsch- und englischsprachigen Prospekten auf das Oktoberfest 2008 aufmerksam machen.

Zusätzlich wird es den offiziellen Wiesn-Maßkrug zieren, der damit die 1978 begonnene Reihe von begehrten Sammlerkrügen erweitert, und für viele andere Wiesnsouvenirs wie Krüge, Gläser, T-Shirts, Hüte usw. verwendet.

Die Preisgelder
Die Wettbewerbsteilnehmer erhielten ein Beteiligungshonorar von 500 Euro. Als Preisgeld erhalten die Preisträger für den 1. Preis 2.500 Euro, für den 2. Preis 1.250 Euro und für den 3. Preis 500 Euro. Für die Nutzungsrechte des Siegermotivs wird ein weiteres Honorar von 5.000 Euro gezahlt; zusätzlich gestaltet der Gewinner den offiziellen Oktoberfest-Flyer.
Die Jury hat sich in diesem Jahr auf zwei Preisträger geeinigt und keinen dritten Platz vergeben. Das Preisgeld für den 3. Platz wird unter den Preisträgern aufgeteilt.

Geschlossener Wettbewerb
Seit dem Jahr 2000 wird das Oktoberfest-Plakatmotiv in einem geschlossenen Wettbewerb ermittelt. Die Teilnehmer durften jeweils zwei Entwürfe einreichen. Die Künstler und Agenturen, deren Entwürfe der Jury ohne Kenntnis der Einsender vorlagen, kommen aus München und Deutschland.

Historie
Das Oktoberfest mit seiner fast zweihundertjährigen Geschichte ist als größtes Volksfest der Welt zum Mythos geworden. Nicht zuletzt dank dieses einmaligen Volksfestes gehört München zu den führenden Tourismus-Metropolen Europas.

Das Besondere an der Wiesn ist, daß sie den Spagat zwischen Fest für die Münchner und internationaler Großveranstaltung spielend schafft; daß sie sich an ihre Wurzeln erinnert und offen ist für neue Entwicklungen.

THE COMPETITION
 
   
A
nd the winner is....I have won the grand prize in the 2008 offical Oktoberfest poster design competition. The competition has been organized by the city of Munich to celebrate the largest beer festival worldwide, the famous Oktoberfest which has been a landmark event for 175 years now.

A closed competition, the jury has chosen from 21 entries, seeking designs which highlight the uniqueness of the festival by communicating a joie de vivre, as well as humor and overall charm.


Beer, beer, and still more beer...

My motif is essentially a vibrantly colorful pop art collage using some of the "usual suspects," a heart, a Ferris wheel, a pretzel, and this goes without saying a beer mug. I used an ink brush for the design, and CG colorized it on-screen.


The heartiness of it all

Using the Design

My award-winning design will be used to promote the Oktoberfest on 7,000 posters and in 90,000 brochures in both German and English languages.

In addition, the design will be displayed on the official "Oktoberfest Beer Mugs" which have been collector's items since 1978. It will also be featured on assets like mugs, glasses, steins, t-shirts, caps, etc.

Money, Money, Money

All participants receive a participation fee of 500 euros. The award winners receive 2,500 euros (first prize), 1,250 euros (second prize), and 500 euros (third prize), respectively. An additional license fee of 5,000 euros is paid to the winner for the merchandising rights. Further, the winner will be assigned to design the offical Oktoberfest brochure.

This year around, the jury has decided on only two winners, and has left the third prize unawarded. The trophy money for the third prize is therefore shared among the winners.

DETAILS


Closed Competition

The Oktoberfest poster design competition has been a closed competition since 2000. The invited participants were allowed to enter two designs each. The jury had no knowledge of who created which design since the competition required anonymized entires. All invited artists and design agencies come from Munich and Germany.

A History of Celebration

The largest folk festival in the world, the Oktoberfest is legendary. With a history spanning almost 200 years, this unique event has done its share in helping the city of Munich evolve into a leading European tourist spot.

This is certainly in part owed to the fact that the "Wiesn", as the Oktoberfest is also known, has always managed to be both a folk festival for the people of Munich, as well as a big international event.


THE BROCHURE

This is my design for the official Oktoberfest three-fold brochure informing on the event and specifying the site by means of a hand-drawn map. >DOWNLOAD BROCHURE

Here is my hand-drawn map from the brochure indicating the whereabouts on Theresienwiese where the Oktoberfest is held from Sept. 20 through Oct 5, 2008:

   


OKTOBERFEST KITCHENWARE

The official Munich Oktoberfest beer stein carrying my official artwork for the 2008 Munich Oktoberfest has been presented to the press on August 28th and is now out for sale.

Produced by Rastal, a major manufacturer of kitchenware, the monumental one liter stoneware stein has been a collectors' item since 1978, with prices for out of print steins selling at up to several hundred dollars. Each mug is dated on the front and carries a copy of my signature on the bottom.
