Taste of Buffalo announces winners for annual poster art contest

Taste of Buffalo is the nation’s largest two-day food festival. This year it will be held July 13 and 14 in downtown Buffalo.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — The Taste of Buffalo will return in July, and to help promote it, organizers needed art for posters.

A contest was held, and Kelli Dingle of Albion won the grand prize with her entry in the 13 to 17-year-old age group. Kelli's artwork will now be used for the official festival poster.

Oh, and she also won $1,000.

Event organizers were "in awe of the many wonderful submissions to our annual poster art contest, and this year was no different," Taste of Buffalo chair Tom Mahoney said in a statement. "The Taste of Buffalo congratulates Kelli on her fantastic winning design and extends our sincere thanks to all who submitted."

Stephen Forman Jr., of Buffalo won the 18-and-over age group contest and will receive $500 from the festival and Tops Friendly Markets.

Taste of Buffalo is the nation’s largest two-day food festival. Entering its 41st year, it will be held July 13-14 along Delaware Avenue, its traditional spot.

The event was recently recognized by USA Today's 2023 10BEST Reader’s Choice Travel Award Contest for Best City Food Festival.
