Every year, the Department of Environment and Yukon Energy produce a collectible poster featuring art that celebrates the arrival of spring and swans. This year is extra special because it's the 30th anniversary of A Celebration of Swans.
The winner of this year’s art contest is Stanislav Hermak. Chera Hunchuk did the poster design and layout.
About the artist

He moved to Whitehorse in 2021 and designs stickers, T-shirts and hoodies for North of Ordinary Media. He also paints with pastels and acrylics.
About his winning entry: “The plot is saturated with the feeling of the awakening of new life, spring, the flight of swans at dawn over of the Yukon mountains.”
