The Downtown Bozeman Association Presents – The 44th Annual Christmas Stroll Poster Contest Winner!

The Christmas Stroll has been one of the longest-standing Bozeman community traditions and with that, the Annual Poster Design Contest! The Downtown Bozeman Association put out a “Call for Art” for the official Christmas Stroll Poster in early fall, and this year bought a whole array of festive and wonderfully creative designs!

The winning poster stood out with its nod to the importance of community and inclusivity, especially during the holidays! Meet the 44th Annual Christmas Stroll Poster Contest Winner – Jessie Reitan!

“My name is Jessie Reitan and I am a graphic designer, artist, and MSU grad student. When I am not at home working on a million different art projects, I am skiing at Bridger, fishing, or spending time out and about with friends.

One of my favorite parts of living in Bozeman is the amazing sense of community, which I wanted to capture in my poster design. The Christmas Stroll is such a great opportunity for everyone to come together and enjoy the holiday spirit, and I am so excited to be a part of it!”

The 44th Annual Christmas Stroll Poster design by Reitan will adorn all businesses windows in downtown Bozeman and will be featured on all event marketing materials. In addition to the notoriety of having their artwork featured, a $200 cash prize will be issued to the winning artist, Jessie Reitan!
