We are thrilled to announce the winner of our second annual poster contest! After careful consideration, Commission Shift staff have selected Darcie Delgado’s design titled “Protect Our Future.”
The theme for this year’s contest was “Generational Responsibility.” The choices we make today will impact our families for generations to come. Decision-makers have a responsibility to manage change and to plan for the future.
Darcie’s first place prize is $800. The winning poster will also be featured in Commission Shift’s communications and advocacy materials, including our website, social media, and promotional products for our outreach events.
We are grateful to everyone who participated, helped raise awareness, and gave a vision to our work. Thank you for your support, and congratulations to Darcie!
