Festival Poster
Every year we hold a contest for art students at our local high schools to give us their ideas for our festival poster. We look for the drawing, collage or illustration that best conveys the idea of Gig Harbor as an artsy, creative place. Art League members select the winning image. Monetary awards are given to the first, second and third place winners, and also to the art teacher whose student took first place. Our 2023 winner (with text added) — “Cosmic Fish” — was painted by Jack Sandford from Henderson Bay High School.
His art teacher, Danielle Chornoma, was also recognized. The other winning illustrations were submitted by Aria Schumacher (2nd Place) and Arrow Wehmeir (3rd Place.
