We’ve tallied the votes!

Thank you to all the artists who submitted and made this such a great competition. We of course loved them all! There were 4 clear fan favorites, that all finished within just a few votes of each other. We will be adding products to our CBA Store soon featuring the winners’ artwork for a limited time through spring. Here are the top 4 vote-getters listed in order.

#1. Sophia Lentine

I saw my first Brown Thrasher in Florida and I’m excited to see them make their way back to Chicago this Spring!

#2. Kat Jarboe

My submission depicts a male indigo bunting returning for spring migration. I love indigo buntings due to their unique bright color!

#3. Patricia Casey Joyce

Sandhill Cranes on a nest!

#4. Sophie Lucido Johnson

I’m looking forward to seeing the whole rainbow of migrators that come through Chicago — it’s one of the most special occurrences in North America, and we get a front-row seat! I am generally obsessed with birds and I love drawing them — particularly the bright colors on the spring migrators. I’m so excited to celebrate them all once again.
