Poster Competition 2025
The winner of the Charlotte SHOUT! 2025 Poster Competition is “Charlotte in Bloom” by Sarah Matthews!
This electrifying digital masterpiece captures the very soul of Charotte SHOUT!, a festival that transforms Uptown Charlotte into a living, breathing, celebration of art, music, food, and ideas. The iconic skyline stands tall, a symbol of resilience and innovation, but it does not stand alone. From its structures, a wild symphony of flowers bursts forth, an explosion of color and movement that embodies the uncontainable creativity of the city.
Each petal is a brushstroke of artistry, representing the painters, musicians, dancers, poets, storytellers, chefs, and thought leaders who shape Charlotte’s cultural landscape. This piece is a visual crescendo, where urban architecture meets organic expression, mirroring the festival’s power to unify, uplift, and ignite the imagination. It invites viewers to see, hear, taste, and feel the heartbeat of Charlotte – a city where creativity is not just celebrated, but lived. This is not just art; this is Charlotte SHOUT! in full bloom.
