POSTER CONTEST
The poster contest is fast becoming a tradition at CIC. In the two previous years of the contest, we've had over 400 submissions with over 80 making the "final cut" to display and be voted on by CIC registrants. This year's submissions totaled over 100 with 50 posters making the trip to Los Angeles for voting.

This year's winners:

First place - House of Blues Concerts for their submission of Ben Harper at the Sasquatch Music Festival.

Second place - Alltel Arena for The Rolling Stones A Bigger Bang.

Third place - Nederlander Presents for Paul Simon at The Santa Barbara Bowl.

Yes, a couple of Emek's entries won again. Both the first place and third place posters were conceptualized and/or designed by Emek. Last year, in a first for the Poster Contest, all three award-winning posters were created by Emek, "The Thinking Man's Poster Artist." Emek also designed CIC 2005s first place winner! That's quite an achievement and one that is well-deserved.

Thank you to all participants and congratulations to the awards winners and finalists. We look forward to this year's submissions!
