“Ten Images for Ithaca” is an international poster competition, held since 2002, at Ithaca, Greece, in an attempt to reinforce the cultural profile of the island. Over the years, the competition has won acclaim worldwide and Ithaca has becoma a meeting point for creative people from all over the globe, for the award ceremony in summer. Kostas Kalogirou of Red Creative was appointed a jury member for the 2010 competition, which received 1.728 submissions from 73 countries. The final selection of the jury can be found at www.tenimages.org.

Red Creative was honoured with the Gold EBGE Graphic Design Award –a distinction granted to the best work of the year– at the Greek Graphic Design & Illustration Awards 2010 (EBGE), for the design of the Biennale 2 visual identity – an event organised by the State Museum of Contemporary Art, Thessaloniki. The same project also won the first prize (EBGE Award) at the Multiple Applications category. The jury explains why: “A coherent initial idea –simple but essential– bearing intellectual ambiguity and aesthetic challenges. The design elements, skillfully developed and handled, ensure the project to stand out over its peers with its scope and variables. The production quality is of high caliber, with sensible use of varied materials, variations in scale, and natural adaptations to different media”. The Red Creative team extend their warmest thanks to the people of SMCA, for their unreserved trust during the project.
