The International Reggae Poster Contest announces its 7th call for participation, with the theme of the contest for 2020 being “Reggae Music: Messages from Jamaica to the World”. In the world of design and the arts, there are many poster competitions. Some focus on music, such as jazz and rock; and others on social awareness. But there is only one competition worldwide on reggae music. One of the reasons this music has spread across the globe is because reggae speaks to our hearts and our mind about a wide range of social and political issues. For this 7th contest,  Entries need to focus on the messages that reggae and all the other genres of  Jamaican popular music are spreading globally, with creative visual expressions that capture the energy and the vibe of Jamaican culture, at home and internationally. The objective of the International Reggae Poster Contest is to build awareness for positive reggae music and to celebrate the global achievements of reggae and its impact on the world. The term reggae, as used by the contest, encompasses all the popular Jamaican musical genres.
