CYCLE UP! International Poster Competition 2024
Thank you to all the talented artists who participated and submitted posters in the CYCLE UP! International Poster Competition 2024.
We received almost 100 entries, each one showcasing a unique perspective on sustainable urban mobility and the inclusivity of cycling. From vibrant illustrations to thought-provoking graphic designs, our jury had difficult decisions to make.
The 20 best posters from the competition have already been displayed at the Prague Bike Fest and in Tartu as part of Tartu 2024 activities organised by the Goethe-Institut.
Winner, Auguste Sturlyte will be travelling to visit the Pochen Biennale on the opening weekend and Helena Furquim Junqueira’s work was selected to promote the European Peace Ride activities in 2024. Congratulations to our runners-up Liisi Taam and Hana Knapová.

European Peace Ride
The International Peace Race, also called Course de la Paix, was the most watched amateur cycling event behind the Iron Curtain. At its peak, it was even compared to the famous Tour de France.
First held in 1952, it ran annually across Eastern Europe and used Chemnitz, or Karl-Marx-Stadt at the time, as a stop several times. The aim of the race was to counteract the tensions of the Cold War with a peaceful message that sport unites people. In 2006 it was held in this form for the last time.
Now called the European Peace Ride (EPR), from September 12th to September 15th, 2024, the EPR will go over 570 km with 6000 m altitude from Bad Ischl - European Capital of Culture/Salzkammergut 2024 - over 3 stages to Chemnitz - Capital of Culture 2025.
A total of 200 participants from different countries will take on the challenge and set an example for peace together as a large peloton. This is an unforgettable cultural and sporting event.

Ex Oriente Ignis - Pochen Biennale 2024
“As we step into the darkness of a bright screen within the Pochen Biennale, we will gaze into the reflections of the world cast by the upcoming fire - and welcome artistic research into current pyropolitics of Europe, experiment with an open fire of multiple Easts, phosphorescent geographies, strobe identities, gaslighting economies, necropoesis of war, and the burnout of the Yalta-Potsdam system."
The Pochen Biennale explores transformations: Since 2018, it has been a unique interdisciplinary and multimedia exhibition format in Chemnitz.
The result of this exploration is this a four-week Biennale titled "Ex Oriente Ignis" (The Fire Comes from the East) featuring over 20 international artworks and a youth exhibition. The media art exhibition curated by Serge Klymko includes video works, performances, sound installations, and interventions. To mediate the topic local young people are invited to participate in the parallel youth exhibition. The accompanying program consists of events and formats, providing artistic, civil society, and scientific perspectives.
