In 2006, the Shung Ye Museum of Formosan Aborigines, together with the Taiwan Poster Design Association, began organizing a national poster design competition for students that was focused on the promotion of Taiwan’s indigenous culture. It was hoped that from their “visual” perspective, aided by their innovation and creativity, students from all over Taiwan would present new interpretations based on their understanding of Taiwan’s indigenous culture. From its 9th edition, the name was changed from the Students’ Indigenous Poster Design Competition to the Taiwan Biennial of Indigenous Poster Design, with submissions accepted from people of all nationalities and ages, to more effectively promote indigenous culture and encourage works of enhanced depth and breadth.
