The Results for the Poster Competition Are In!

Audrey Carie's "Expand Your Palette"
The results of the DAAD’s “Designs on Germany” Poster Competition have been announced. The international selection committee has awarded the top prize to Audrey Carie, a senior at Butler University, who is majoring in psychology and minoring in gender studies and has a strong background in visual arts. Audrey’s winning design “Expand Your Palette” was chosen among 47 submissions from the US and Canada.

Carie elaborated on her choice of the color palette for her design as representing "several aspects that the DAAD aims to achieve. The range of color symbolizes that there are all kinds of people in the world that can be connected to each other. All the colors are individual, however, when mixed together an endless amount of colors can be created. Just as there is no limit to colors, there is no limit to the opportunites people have for learning. By expanding one's palette, one can continue to learn forever. Studying in Germany is one of the excellent ways to expand your palette."
