(This also gives us an even better chance of avoiding the tail end of the rainy season in Hong Kong.) Please update your calendars for next year. “ATypI’s 2012 conference will be held in Hong Kong on 10–14 October 2012," says Keith Tam, head of the local organising team. "This is the first time ATypI is holding its annual conference in Asia, and we are excited to be its host at the School of Design of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. The conference venues will be confirmed shortly.

“At the crossroads of Asia, Hong Kong is a unique blend of cultures. It is an embodiment of thousands of years of Chinese history, as well as a rich colonial past and a mix of many other influences. We look forward to contributions from China and the rest of Asia, examining and reconsidering typography from an Asian and multilingual perspective.

“During the coming months, the PolyU School of Design will work closely with ATypI to bring you an exciting programme and conference experience.”

Berry 2011-11-25T22:47:47Z News Item GRANSHAN 2012 http://www.atypi.org/granshan-2012 5th International Type Design Competition for non-Latin typefaces Type beautifies language. The codification of sounds, syllables and words, each captured in signs, is a thrilling expression of cultural diversity. Frequently, the script system represents an integral part of the user’s cultural identity – an unconscious, unchallenged link to their heritage. We are interested in exploring these notions of ‘difference’ and diversity. International type design competitions, of which there are few, often are oriented towards the West and usually focus on Latin script.

By holding this fifth international type design competition, GRANSHAN 2012, the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Armenia and the Typographic Society Munich (tgm - Typographische Gesellschaft Munchen) intend to enhance the importance of other script systems, beginning with Armenian, Cyrillic and Greek.

This year we have included Indic and Arabic text typeface categories in the competition.

Granshan competition was initiated by the Ministry of Culture of Armenia in 2008. Since 2010 under the organising committee direction, Granshan competitions have been held during ATypI conferences and have received popularity all over the world.

The awarded works of Granshan competitions have been displayed at the exhibitions in different countries: Lincoln, London, Hampshire (UK), St.Petersburg, Moscow, Cheboksary, Rostov (Russia), Munich (Germany), Alexandria (Egypt), Yerevan, Oshakan (Armenia). As in 2012 Armenia celebrates the 500th anniversary of the first printed Armenian book, the organising committee of Granshan 2012 have decided to held the competition during the conference, which will take place in Yerevan (Armenia) on 14-16 of June 2012.

The organising committe of Granshan 2012, taking into consideration that 2012 is an anniversary year for Armenia, have decided to include a Latin text-typeface category in the Granshan competition, only for this year; all the fonts created for the last 10 years are allowed to be submitted to the competition.

The Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Armenia and the Typographic Society Munich (tgm - Typographische Gesellschaft Munchen) call for entries.

Co-heads of the organising committee of GRANSHAN 2012 are Edik Ghabuzyan & Boris Kochan.
