Five young Orange County artists have earned the opportunity to serve as Honorary Bat Kids at the Angels game Sept. 12, as winners of the Eco Challenge Poster Contest.
In keeping with the 125th anniversary of the county’s founding, contestants were called to show what the next 125 years would look like if we all take the Eco Challenge.
The winning posters were selected from 200 submissions. Judges selected the winners based on originality, clarity, relevance to theme, artwork and effectiveness of message.
One winner was selected from each of the county’s five supervisorial districts.
The winners are:
Benjamin Muñiz, Santa Ana, 1st District
Merrin Joseph, Buena Park, 2nd District
Natalie Chang, Irvine, 3rd District
Danilo Macias, Anaheim, 4th District
Charlie Adams, Ladera Ranch, 5th District
“We were pleased to see so many Eco Challenge posters submitted in this year’s contest. We saw so much talent and excitement for the future in their work,” board Chairman Shawn Nelson said.
The poster contest is sponsored by the County of Orange, Discovery Science Center and Angels Baseball.
