Join us in celebrating the 2021 Calgary Stampede Poster! Created by 22-year-old Calgarian Lexi Hilderman, winner of the 2021 Youth Poster Competition, the artwork symbolizes the passing of the storm and recognizes resiliency and optimism. Featuring a young Fancy Dancer with rainbow ribbons flowing from her regalia, the artwork was inspired by the image of a young woman named Katari Righthand from the Siksika First Nation. The Youth Poster Competition engages youth from acros...s Alberta in a unique learning and development opportunity. This program celebrates young artists, inviting them to be a part of history and create the iconic Calgary Stampede poster and receive one of the largest art scholarships in Canada. As the winner of the 2021 Calgary Stampede Poster Competition, Hilderman will receive a $10,000 scholarship generously provided by the Brandon Flock Foundation. Congratulations to this incredible young artist for creating this beautiful piece!
