Finalist in the contest My Finland Poster 2023. The theme was SAUNA. The artist presents his artwork: I associate Finland with tranquillity, beauty, closeness to nature and a longing for seclusion. All this inspired me to create my motif. Surely travel posters can’t simply remain a cry from the past? Absolutely not. We live in […]
Finalist in the contest My Finland Poster 2023. The theme was SAUNA. The artist presents his artwork: Sometimes we think that the sauna is just being in a hyper-heated wooden room. But for me the most exciting part is rolling around in the snow laughing out loud with your friends until you run back inside […]
In the words of the artist: This illustration was born out of my love for ice skating and is a tribute to nordic outdoors culture. There is something magical about being out on a frozen lake on a sunny winter day. I have spent much time in Dalarna and Hälsingland and love the mountainous landscape […]
FINALIST in the My Norden Poster poster contest 2022! In the words of the artist: I wanted the poster to represent things and values that unite the Nordic countries. I chose not to highlight individual sights, because what the Nordic region can offer its visitors, still today, is a unique nature that is always close […]
Runner-up in the My Norden Poster poster contest 2022! In the words of the artist: I find a lot of inspiration from nature. In my poster I decided to portray what I find interesting and unique about the nordic landscape and nature. The mountains, our vegetation, our rivers and the sea. Before globalization the sea […]
Honorary award in the MyFinlandPoster contest 2021! In the words of the artist: In Hanko I found a balanced combination of artificial and natural. In the poster, I portrayed not the most popular but yet beautiful season in Hanko. Thin and gentle blocks of ice make way for the visitor to reach the inviting town […]
The artist presents her artwork: I was working on this poster in November 2019 for the “My Finland poster 2020” contest. I had a lot of ideas on the topic “Helsinki” but was kind of stuck with all of them when suddenly the Finnish National Football Team qualified for the European Championship 2020. I am […]
Finnish Travel Poster of the year 2020, 5th place! The artist presents her artwork: The poster is drawn digitally in Photoshop. I used the colors of Helsinki’s coat of arms; blue, yellow (gold), white (silver) and ruby red. Blue + yellow was used to color the birch leaf, red + yellow was used for the […]
Finalist in the travel poster contest My Finland Poster 2019 The artist presents his artwork: The poster is largely inspired by my experience on a lake behind a student dormitory during my student life in Stockholm.

Most of the regions, cities and travel companies in Finland created posters and images of their own, just like the city of Kuopio in the region of Savo has done here.

Forget about the summer, it’s still the winter which is Finland’s trump card. Apart from ski competitions in for example Lahtis and Kuopio it was mainly the State Railways that promoted the Finnish winter, with new travel posters every season. The tourists were to make no mistake: if they were going to Lapland they were […]
And now a nostalgic tear runs down a Finnish cheek. We’re talking of that link to the town, that symbol of national unity, those bright yellow, rather slow, but always reliable and delightfully sociable…post buses. Everything started in Lapland, where the problems of delivering mail were greatest. The Rovaniemi-Sodankylä line started up in 1921, although […]
Numerous are the works which maybe were discarded by the artist, not flagged in competitions or turned down by the customer. That’s why we also want to offer never before printed, completely unique posters like this one by artist Aukusti Tuhka. In this poster he simply tells us to ”Travel to Lapland”. We do agree!
