First off, congratulations to Miguel Blanco, the WINNER of the X-Fest 2015 Poster Contest!
Second, holy pepperoni! Not to be too cheesy, but Domino’s has put up the dough to buy every single X-Fest Poster Contest artist a pair of ticket vouchers to X-Fest 2015! We’ve saved plenty of ‘shroom for all of the artists at our blow-out summer concert on Sunday, June 7th!!
Thanks to Domino’s for having the meatballs to make this bacon a reality. And thanks to all the artists for entering!
Scroll down to view all submissions. Note: page may take awhile to load all of the awesomeness.

“This poster is my favorite because it has a good sense of humor. It’s well illustrated. The typography is a perfect ode to Tales from the Crypt and it presents the information well. It uses many colors without making me mad which is a real accomplishment.”

Guest Judge Shepard Fairey
Shepard Fairey created the first of his iconic works in 1989, making 2014 the 25-year mark of his career. Originally from Charleston, South Carolina, Fairey attended the Rhode Island School of Design before moving to San Diego, where he lived and worked from the late ’90s until the early 2000’s. In addition to his guerrilla street art presence, with works like the OBEY GIANT art campaign, the artist has executed more than 43 large-scale painted public murals around the world as of 2015. His works are in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery, the Boston Institute of Contemporary Art, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and many others.
