1st Place & Todd Oldham Award: Anastasia Cohen, Miami International University of Art & Design (Florida)

2nd Place: Yu-Tzu Chung, Pratt Institute (New York)

3rd Place: Ramon Aclo Tyler School of Art/Temple University (Pennsylvania)

David Carson Award: Rachel Aubrey, New York Institute of Technology-Manhattan Campus (New York)

As I announced in february, the Design Against Fur message this year is “protect seals”.
The theme of the 2006 Design Against Fur poster competition is Canada’s commercial seal hunt-the largest and most brutal slaughter of marine mammals on earth.
The competition will take place in two phases. Winners of the Regional Competitions will go forward to an International Competition. The Grand Prize Winner wins $5,000 US and a trip to Stella McCartney’s fall fashion show in Paris.

The images above are from the United States part of the international competition. The winners are: 1st Place & Todd Oldham Award: Anastasia Cohen, Miami International University of Art & Design (Florida), 2nd Place: Yu-Tzu Chung, Pratt Institute (New York), 3rd Place: Ramon Aclo Tyler School of Art/Temple University (Pennsylvania) and the David Carson Award: Rachel Aubrey, New York Institute of Technology-Manhattan Campus (New York). The other international winners have not been announced till autumn.
