Sportswomen of Colorado 2025 Annual Awards Program

Sportswomen of Colorado has promoted, honored, and empowered Colorado girls and women in sport. More than 2,200 women have been spotlighted for sports achievement awards since beginning in 1974. I was asked to create a design for the 51st Annual Awards Celebration & Fundraiser, focusing around the theme of the 2024 Summer Olympics. I was asked to create an event design that showcases the successes of female athletes as a whole over the past 50 years, mixed with the Olympics.

For this, I chose to source images of female athletes in action, but without the faces clearly visible. I wanted them to represent “every woman”, rather than insinuating a specific person. Then I distressed the images to look like photos from old black and white newspapers and juxtaposed with rings of various sizes in Olympic colors.
