The European Days of Jewish Culture is proud to announce the winner of the second poster contest, Nikola Radic Lucati, Founder of the Center for Holocaust Research and Education in Belgrade, Serbia. The winning poster design features the Hebrew language as a clear and understandable symbol, avoiding the overt use of Jewish symbols such as the Magen David, menorah, and talit. The design includes the current Jewish calendar year, emphasizing the theme of Memory, and the use of color and rust brushstrokes are balanced, yet suggestive enough to support both cultural and memorial events.
Using a single poster for all EDJC events helps to create a homogeneous festival and facilitate communication between organizers and participants. In the coming weeks, the poster will be available in an editable version, so that organizers can adapt and translate it according to their local needs.
The AEPJ board selected the winning design from among many submissions, as they were impressed with Nikola’s thoughtful and creative approach to the theme of Memory. With the poster now available, we look forward to promoting the EDJC 2023 festival across Europe and celebrating the rich Jewish culture and heritage of our continent.
