Voting Launches TODAY for DIA & Let's Save Michigan Poster Contest



Twenty-five Finalists Selected for Poster Campaign to Inspire Citizens to Revive Michigan

Voting launches today for the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA) and Let's Save Michigan Poster Contest at letssavemichigan.com/posters. Judges selected 60 finalists from more than 300 entries of posters created for the purpose of inspiring Michiganders to revive their state.
The posters are part of Let's Save Michigan's goal to rally Michigan citizens to create livable and desirable communities that will position the state’s economy for a better future.

Voting will close on March 15. Let's Save Michigan will announce the winner, who will be awarded $1,000, on the site on March 16. The runner-up will receive $250. Third through fifth place will receive a membership to DIA.

Throughout March, the posters of the 60 finalists will be on display in the lobby of Detroit’s historic Fisher Building, 3011 West Grand Boulevard.


“The best part of the contest has been seeing so many creative ways people have depicted the assets and actions that will transform Michigan’s cities, from transit to urban farming and so much more," said Sean Mann, founder of Let's Save Michigan. “Also, we were originally going to select only 25 finalists, but DIA was so impressed with the entries that we now have 60 finalists.”
