In February 2019, I was selected as the winner of the Southern New Hampshire University and Boston Celtics fan banner design contest. The goal of the contest was to incorporate the themes of SNHU’s culture and mission with the Celtics brand and community initiatives. My design showcases the relationship between SNHU and the Celtics through the use of icons representing different aspects of each brand working together.

In early February, the top four contest finalists presented their ideas at the Celtics HQ in Boston, and from there a winner was selected. As the winner of the contest, my design was placed on a banner given to the 18,000+ fans in attendance at the Celtics’ “SNHU Night” game on March 18, 2019.

The original contest submission was only for the front of the banner. After being selected the winner, I was given the opportunity to design the back as well under guidance of the Celtics design team.
