Austin Bike Poster Show 2011
ABOUT THIS CONTEST
BEST OVERALL POSTER. And the winner of this year's Austin Bike Poster Show is Chris Bomely, with his poster "Git Out There!". Chris' poster has all of the desired elements of design, creativity, Austin, and message to inspire biking in Austin. Second place was "Bike Austin" by Howard Rains. "It's Terrific" by Robert Scott Frost received the third most number of votes.
You can see these and all of the posters below. Thanks to the artists for their submissions. We had a great collection of inspirational posters in this years show and we plan to put them on display at various venues around town. Next week, they will be on display in the atrium outside City Council chambers. The following week we will have them set up at the Black Star Co-op. People can buy the posters at the Frame Corner Gallery (austinframecorner.com) for $20 at 5601 Adams Ave, Austin. Hours are 10-5 Tues-Sat, 453-7788. Even better, buy a poster and have it framed. Regardless of whether you buy and frame a poster, "Git out and there and Ride Your Bike."
