Poster Competition 2026
The winner of the Charlotte SHOUT! 2026 Poster Competition is Where Creativity Reigns by Sara Wasserboehr!
A young person gazes into a reflective surface, smiling as they discover a crown floating above their head — a powerful symbol of imagination, self-discovery, and creative potential. The moment captures the spark of inspiration that defines the SHOUT! experience, where art invites participants to see themselves as part of something vibrant and transformative. Ripples radiate outward from the reflection, representing the way creativity spreads through Charlotte during the festival, connecting people and ideas across the city.
Sara Wasserboehr is a Charlotte-based designer and illustrator specializing in digital artwork inspired by animated films, fantasy storytelling, and a lifelong love of color. A graduate of the Savannah College of Art and Design, her work has appeared in AAA Magazine and the Nourished Planner. Sara’s illustration style blends playfulness and emotional resonance, placing viewers at the center of the story.
Where Creativity Reigns reflects the spirit of SHOUT! — a celebration of creativity that empowers individuals, builds community, and amplifies artistic energy throughout Charlotte. Just as the crown appears through reflection, SHOUT! reveals the creativity within each of us and sends its impact rippling far beyond the festival itself.
