The winner is......




"Urban Unity"

 Last year, artists and designers across the nation submitted their work to be considered as one of the official posters for the 2012 Democratic National Convention. After 400 submissions and over 26,000 votes, the winner was announced recently by the mayor of Charlotte, Anthony Foxx. I am delighted to tell you that our very own Steve Ward is the winner of the official poster contest for the 2012 Democratic National Convention. Steve is a digital design instructor at York Tech and a graduate from UNC-Charlotte. His poster titled “Urban Unity” shows the Charlotte skyline and with clasping hands showing the importance of people coming together for a common cause. We are very proud of Steve and his accomplishment!

“Urban Unity” was designed to celebrate diversity. We all have different political, economic, and religious views, but that's what makes this country so special. Too often political arenas are used to shun other's way of thinking and promote their own. We should all come together, unified, with ears and minds open. Steve Ward
