Poster Art Contest Winners
We invited artists of all ages across Maine to create original artwork celebrating Earth and our community. The winning design by Jennifer J. Merz of Phippsburg — a vibrant, hand-crafted paper collage — is now the signature image of the 2026 Festival.
Four artists were recognized across age categories ranging from elementary school to "golden years," with prizes generously sponsored by Androscoggin Bank and The Mix on Park Row.
