Since the inaugural USA IBC in 1979, each competition has been commemorated with an original poster created by a selected artist. From June 12–27, 2027, the USA International Ballet Competition will celebrate 50 years of artistic excellence and mark the 13th time the official U.S. IBC is held in Jackson, Mississippi.

The selected artist will also be recognized with a dedicated art exhibition, extensive promotional features, and a press conference unveiling the official poster
