SEVENTY award-winning Universiade posters and 200 graphic designs went on show at the Citizens’ Center yesterday.

The exhibition is scheduled to close Wednesday.

All the posters are pasted on 3,000 paper boxes which will later be donated to the city’s civil affairs bureau for disaster relief.

The exhibition marks the end of three poster design contests launched in 2007 and organized by the Universiade organizing committee.

The three contests attracted a total of 20,000 entries.

The award-winning works will be applied to the Universiade’s promotion and licensed products.

“We can see from the works how worldwide attention has been drawn to the Universiade by young people,” said Liang Daoxing, director general of the Executive Office of the Organizing Committee of the 26th Summer Universiade.

At yesterday’s opening ceremony, scores of junior English journalists presented Liang with a 100-meter-long scroll with more than 500 junior English journalists’ wishes on it, which Liang will give to the International University Sports Federation.

The junior journalists, chosen through a junior English journalist program launched by the Shenzhen Daily last year, wrote down their wishes for the 2011 Summer Universiade on the scroll at the Citizens’ Square on Jan. 8.
