The 2015 Sweet Pea Festival is excited to announce this year’s t-shirt and poster contest winners. We would like to thank everyone that participated in the contest and encourage participation next year.

This year’s adult T-shirt contest winner is Brittany Wade a Bozeman high school Junior. Wade recently began experimenting with graphic design and now is seriously considering Graphic Design as a college degree and possibly a career.
Elsa Austin, a second grader at Morning Star Elementary won this year’s Children’s T-shirt contest.  A photograph she saw of sweet pea flowers weaving through a fence inspired Elsa’s winning entry. She also enjoys leather working, painting and drawing. Elsa is looking forward to being involved with this year’s Children’s Sweet Pea Run and Parade.
