IAF and ILAC are pleased to announce the three winning designs in the IAF/ILAC 2025 World Accreditation Day poster contest, which received a total of 64 entries. This year’s contest invited contestants to explore the theme of Accreditation: Empowering Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs).

Congratulations to Joshua Egahi-Ojo Alhassan, who won the first-place prize of USD 1500. His design, inspired by nature, symbolizes the growth of SMEs through accreditation. In his poster, an accreditation symbol supports a microcosm of SMEs, which are overlooked by a tree bearing fruits in the form of industry icons. This powerful visual represents how accreditation fosters growth, leading to positive outcomes that benefit society. Learn more about the designer and his inspiration here.

The winning poster is available for download here.

We would also like to congratulate our second-place winner, Wardina Afiqah Mohd Hasrin, and our third-place winners, the team of Laura Uraine and Tania Blancas. Each runner-up entry earned a prize of USD 500. Learn more about these designers and their posters here.

Thank you to all participants!
