Print Radio, our annual design contest, aims to champion the artistic community within the coverage area we serve. We invite artists, designers and creators to participate in this yearly themed competition.
2020 Contest Theme:
Your connection to public radio
As our region's NPR-member station, we know public radio can impact our community in a meaningful way. Many listeners rely on our in-depth news reporting; others appreciate our dedication to music and the arts. Through entertainment, engagement and journalism, CapRadio provides our audiences with the perspectives and human connections needed to navigate life with confidence and compassion.
How does CapRadio inspire, inform or engage you? Create an original artwork (drawing, painting, etc) or digital design that conveys your connection to public radio.
Winning designs will culminate into a 12-month calendar and reflect what public radio means to our community.
