Doha, Qatar: In an era dominated by digital art and advertising, the sight of a physical graphic poster, especially an Arabic one, has become increasingly rare. However, at M7 in Msheireb Downtown Doha, visitors have the unique opportunity to explore 100 remarkable pieces of the region’s graphic design culture.

The “100/100 Hundred Best Arabic Posters” exhibit is an independent platform dedicated to the celebration of Arabic Graphic Design. It highlights the rich visual art culture of the region, showcasing the evolution of script, imagery, and style by leading Arab graphic designers.

The initiative’s vision is to document the contemporary visual culture of the Arab world, aiming to inspire, connect, and educate emerging talents, academics, and professionals. By doing so, it aims to enhance the global visibility and perception of Arabic graphic design.

Every two years, the Hundred Best Arabic Posters competition invites an independent jury to select the top 100 posters. Over the past decade, four rounds of this competition have been completed, resulting in 400 winning posters chosen from over 7,400 submissions across 23 countries. This year marks the inaugural presentation of the exhibit in Qatar.
