Among the most contemporary authors, Jorge González Armas, a 12-time winner of the Carnival Poster award, stands out. Regarding his participation, he commented: "Before working on that assignment, I think about the subject (if specified in the call), the historical context, outstanding issues of public opinion and characteristic elements of the culture in Las Tunas, thus I have expressed constructions that are symbols of our city such as the Fountain of the Antilles, the Major General Vicente García provincial museum and the Water Tank in Buena Vista district.

"A poster must show balance in terms of color, form and text; that is, a well-structured composition, always respecting all codes and rules," argued who is also designer in 26 Newspaper, and years ago was a worker in the Unit of Propaganda of the Communist Party of Cuba (PCC), specifically as a specialist in placards, billboards and light ads, among other graphic media.
