The 5th China International Poster Biennal (CIPB) is an exhibition that showcases the most recent poster designs from around the world and will be held in October 2011 in Hangzhou. It was launched in 2003 to provide an communication platform for graphic designers and design educators while simultaneously tracking the evolution of the international graphic design scene. The event is organized by the China Academy of Art and has been recognized by the Chinese Ministry of Culture as a means to promote cultural exchange.

The CIPB poster competition is now open for submissions in the following three categories: cultural posters, public service announcement posters, and commercial posters. There are no entry fees for this competition.
