This year's winner: Bella MacArthur

Lights Out is thrilled to announce the Poster Design Competition for the 2025 Norway Maine Arts Festival, made possible by Dirigo Federal Credit Union. This opportunity is open to high school students living in Oxford County (Maine). This competition aims to showcase local artistic talent while offering students real-world experience in professional design.
We’re thrilled to unveil the 2025 Norway Maine Arts Festival poster, designed by Bella MacArthur from Sacopee Valley High School! Her hand-drawn design stood out among 30 submissions from students across Oxford County.
Continuing the tradition of a poster design contest open to students from Oxford Hills Technical School, this year we extended the contest to all high schoolers in the county, thanks to support from Dirigo Federal Credit Union.
