The Mars Society is very pleased to announce that the winner of this year’s Mars Society Poster Contest is Olivier Gourdon of France. He is a designer and artist by trade, currently serving as a workshop manager in the graphic industry, and having previously worked in the newspaper and communication agency field. Olivier also was part of a French team in the 2020 Mars City State Design Competition.
Graphic artists who participated in our annual design contest were asked to submit a poster using the theme “Taking Flight” for the 24th Annual International Mars Society Convention, a virtual conference that will run from October 14-17.
Olivier’s winning poster will be proudly displayed on the Mars Society’s web site and social media platforms as part of our promotional efforts for the upcoming four-day global convention about all things Mars-related.
The Mars Society would also like to extend its congratulations to the contest’s second place winner – Maya Soukup, a graduate student studying geology at Memorial University of Newfoundland in Canada. In addition, contest organizers would like to thank all of the other design participants in this year’s competition.
