TEDxOilSpill Poster Competition Winners Announced!

We were absolutely blown away by the quality of artwork entered into the TEDxOilSpill Poster Competition despite the short timeframe. Along with showcasing these posters during the breaks at TEDxOilSpill last week, we wanted to list them all here for you to check out in more detail. Each poster is linked to the Flickr page where you can find bigger versions and contact the artist about prints. You can view all of the competition entries on Flickr.

The contest was organized by Joseph Coates, an award winning graphic designer and design educator in Baltimore. Posters were judged by the following panel:
