其中TYPO 100经典字体海报回顾展以及NO PAPER实验海报邀请展是本届海报双年展增设的重要项目，该项目将展现全球海报设计所经历的辉煌历史以及探索在新的科学技术手段下海报设计新的可能,它们必将为全球平面设计领域提供重要的思考。

第四届宁波国际海报双年展共收到来自35个国家与地区652位设计师共2010件海报作品，经第一国际评审团的严格而公正的评审，共评出125件(或系列)的海报作品作为本届海报双年展的入选作品，入选率仅达到6%！入选者来自18个国家与地区，涉及百余位设计师。(第四届宁波国际海报双年展入围名单)
宁波国际海双年展创立于1999年，至今已成功地举办三届。2004年第三届宁波国际海报双年展是这项事业发展中关键的一届。在那届，来自日本的原研哉Kenya Hara(Japan)、德国的乌维·勒斯Uwe Loesch(Germany)、意大利的莱昂纳多·索罗里Leonardo Sonnoli(Italy)、以色列的大卫·特塔科夫David Tartakover(Israel)、瑞士的尼古拉斯·特罗斯勒Niklaus Troxler(Switzerland)、荷兰的埃迪文·沃尔博格Edwin Vollebergh(Holland)、中国香港的黄炳培Stanley Wong(Hong Kong)、中国的王序Wang Xu(China)担任国际评审团成员，他们提出了“平面设计如果失去了专业的前瞻性和新的表现力就失去了时代意义(if the graphic design loses its trend of professional development and new expression, it basically loses its significance of the epoch)”，提倡有创新意识的平面设计作品，形成了一个具有宁波国际海报双年展自身特色的评判标准，这也正是组委会一直寻求的主张。这种标准的诞生意味着这项事业进入到一个新的里程。
宁波国际海报双年展已经不是一个传统意义上的海报双年展。经过多年的努力，宁波国际海报双年展在国际上已享有较高的声誉，并以其专业的前瞻性及高标准的国际评委选择与极其严格的评判标准而备受全球设计领域的关注。本届双年展严格按照国际惯例操作执行，旨在推广高水准平面设计，促进国际设计融合与交流，鼓励年轻优秀的平面设计师，提倡有专业的前瞻性和新的表现力的平面设计作品，提升中国平面设计的专业水准，推进中国平面设计教学的发展。
从本届开始，宁波国际海报双年展事业将正式与宁波美术馆(Ningbo Museum of Art)结合，并正在积极运筹成立永久性的国际海报陈列馆，这一结合都将产生深远而巨大的积极意义。
本届双年展评委布鲁诺·蒙古齐曾经说过：这个世界是如此的喧闹，我只想奉献点安静。同样在这个喧杂的时代，宁波国际海报双年展需要坚持以冷静、全面的思考和专业前瞻性的探索为中国乃至全球平面设计及设计教育领域的推进作出自己的努力。
在此，感谢国际评审团成员的辛勤劳动，他们是双年展的灵魂与核心！感谢宁波市大型活动办公室、宁波市教育局、宁波市文学艺术界联合会、宁波市城市职业技术学院以及宁波天九印务有限公司等相关部门及单位的大力支持！感谢韦博国际英语宁波直营中心对英文翻译的支持，感谢所有对双年展给予帮助的单位和个人！感谢广州王序设计有限公司的王序先生和中央美术学院的王敏教授等对TYPO 100经典字体海报回顾展提供部分重要的海报作品！感谢NO PAPER实验海报邀请展12位设计师提供的精彩作品！他们的探索与思考将对平面设计的未来产生重要的影响！

Only 125 items (series) of hundred of designers from 18 different countries and regions are qualified (6% qualification rate) after first round of selection by international juries with strict professional standard and code of equality.
Ningbo International Poster Biennial started from 1999, which has been held for three times. the 2004 Ningbo International Poster Biennial played an important role during the development of this event, when Kenya Hara (Japan), Uwe Loesch (Germany), Leonardo Sonnoli (Italy), David Tartakover (Israel), Niklaus Troxler (Switzerland), Edwin Vollebergh (Holland), Stanley Wong (Hong Kong) and Wang Xu (China) were the international jury members. They suggested that “if the graphic design loses its trend of professional development and new expression, it basically loses its significance of the epoch”, which is aiming to encourage the creativity in graphic designing, to form a professional judging standard with Ningbo International Poster Biennial characteristics. This is what the organization committee has been always seeking for. The constitution of this judging standard means this event has achieved a new milestone.

From this biennial, Ningbo International Poster Biennial will officially merge with Ningbo Museum of Art, and strive to establish a permanent international poster gallery, which will have a great positive impact to Ningbo International Poster Biennial.
