Northwest Artists Against Extinction and Save Our wild Salmon Coalition concluded our 2024 Poster Competition in April. We received so many stunning artwork submissions, our jury was challenged to choose winners. We are grateful to all who entered work in this competition and who create to inspire restoration!
Top designs will be used in NWAAE and SOS promotional materials and posters (similar to previous posters- below). NWAAE and SOS will incorporate poster language that calls for support to restore healthy and abundant salmon, steelhead, and Southern Resident orca populations.
