We each play a part in raising awareness about cybersecurity. That’s why, with generous support from craig newmark philanthropies, Aspen Digital launched the “Cybersecurity in Daily Life” poster competition. Inspired by the historical use of posters to inform and uplift the American public, we called on young artists ages 14 to 17 to design creative posters with the following questions in mind:
- What does everyday cybersecurity look like?
- How is cybersecurity part of your use of technology?
- Why is cybersecurity important to you?
Announcing the Winners
During the closing of the 2024 Aspen Cyber Summit last week, we were delighted to announce our eight runners-up, who each took home a $1,000 prize, and our grand prize winner, who was awarded $2,000. Join us in congratulating these nine remarkable artists, and keep reading here to learn more about their posters. Plus, watch the closing remarks below.

Posters were scored across three criteria: creativity and originality, craftsmanship, and command of cybersecurity topics. Judges then selected the nine top-scoring posters, including four runners-up ages 14-15, four runners-up ages 16-17, and one grand prize winner across both categories.
We are thrilled to share the winning posters and artists’ statements below. Congratulations again, everyone!

My poster conveys the various ways to stay safe online. From my experience of having not so tech savvy parents I included some of the things I’ve had to teach them, so they don’t get hacked or have their information robbed. So hopefully through this poster I spread some ways to stay safe online.
