Huiput Creative Festival

About Huiput Creative Festival

Vuoden Huiput Festival 2025 - also known as Huiput Creative Festival - is a major one-day event for creative professionals and students that will take place on 20 May 2025 at the Clarion Hotel Helsinki. Organised by Grafia - the Association of Visual Communication Designers in Finland, the festival is now in its ninth year and attracts around 400 participants each year.

The festival grew out of the Vuoden Huiput competition, Finland's most prestigious creative design competition, which was founded by designers in 1980. Originally established to raise the standard of Finnish design, promote creativity and originality, and support the professional development of designers, the competition remains a cornerstone of Finland's creative industry. It includes an annual competition, an awards gala, an exhibition of winning work and a yearbook showcasing the best of Finnish advertising and design. Building on the legacy of the competition, the Vuoden Huiput Festival was launched in 2017 as a side event to further strengthen the creative community. Through keynote speeches, workshops and presentations, the festival provides a platform for networking, professional development and inspiration, expanding the mission to promote excellence in design. The 2025 edition of the Festival offers a rich and diverse programme, including:

• Lectures by industry leaders: Inspiring speeches from Finnish and international pioneers in the creative industries.
• Workshops: Engaging, hands-on sessions that encourage experimentation, collaboration and new learning experiences.
• Networking and Creative Encounters: Opportunities for creative professionals and students to network, exchange ideas and build new collaborations.
