Congratulations to Rebecca Rouse for winning this year’s poster contest for the GOTV Terrapin Foundation Non-Perishable Food, Personal Hygiene Product and Clothing Drive. Rebecca’s poster received the most votes amongst the eight finalists and the most votes overall. Below is her winning poster. Every person that donates at least 20 items towards this years drive (except Ramen - 5 Ramen packets counted as 1) will receive a high-quality print of this poster, as well as our undying gratitude.

Please join us in congratulating Rebecca!

Congratulations are also in order for Lola Leo, who took home 2nd place in this year’s contest.

Vibes is closing in, so as you start to prepare, please remember to pack a donation - even if it is only one item. If everyone donated just one item, then we would smash last year’s record of 7,667 lbs. of donations and blow away our goal of 15,000 lbs! In fact, we would collect over 10 tons of donations!!

For a list of acceptable donations and more information on the drive, please visit the links below:

while excellent, Lola's wasn't one of the 8 finalists, she couldn't have won the grand prize.

she did win the highest award that she could have, congratulations to her if i haven't said so somewhere along the way, sooooo, what am i not understanding, that is resulting in a recount request? :dunno:

Rebecca deserves congratulations for being a finalist, and for winning the grand prize. :thup:

Hee hee... Thanks guys. I spoke with Kyle and Marc at TF, and understand their situation in regards to selecting the 8 finalists. I'm happy I was able to participate and create something kick-ass and get tickets to Vibes in the process. If anything, the positive response, support, and kudos that folks shared in regards to my design has helped to light the fires of inspiration, and I have been drawing every night this week - and that is a much blessed gift in and of itself!!!! :mrgreen:

And for what it's worth, I really don't think DHJ nor TDD meant any disrespect. :) Congrats to Rebecca!


Here's my poster for those who didn't see it:

You folks are too much - I can feel the love! :heart:

Nice to know the numbers - this seriously has been a big boost for me as I enter into the world of making my artwork part of my legitimate professional life.

Funny to think that a month or two ago I was full of self-doubt and fear regarding making this thing go - now I feel strong, inspired, and able thanks to all the positive feedback, so thank you for that! :)

We're still working on getting the final weight from the food bank. As of 6pm on Sunday when we closed down we were at 7,219 lbs. However, that is what was weighed at the booth and may not be 100% accurate (our scales are "tired"). It also doesn't include vendor donations, which are usually provided on Monday morning.

Last year we collected 7,218 lbs. from festival attendees and 445 lbs from festival vendors & Sysco, for a grand total of 7,663 lbs. of donations. I think we may have broken that record this year, but I won’t know until later today or tomorrow.

Thanks everyone for donating this year! Overall it was another very successful year!!!! :heart: :grin:

I just noticed that we collected 1 lb. more from festival attendees this year compared to last. That is seriously a total coincidence and not us playing with the numbers. I actually need to get everything into a spreadsheet anyway to verify the totals, because our math on site isn't always 100% accurate :lol:
