50:50 is a year-long programme of celebrations running from 2026 to 2027, marking two significant milestones for Derby: the 50th anniversary of the Derby–Osnabrück twinning and the anniversary of Derby achieving city status.

We are inviting you to create an A2 poster responding to the theme “50 Years of Connection.”

50 selected works will form a collective poster series exhibited publicly on 6 June 2026 and all entries will be archived online by Department Store & Co.
