2025 Sweet Pea Festival Poster Design Unveiled

We’re thrilled to reveal the 2025 winning artwork for this year’s Sweet Pea Festival official poster, designed by the incredibly talented Teal Young!

Teal Young is a mixed-media visual artist from Bozeman, Montana. A student of Tina DeWeese, she began sculpting wire at age 10. For the next 18 years, Young found professional success as a sculptor in Bozeman and in a number of cities across the nation. In 2016, an unexpected hiatus from sculpting prompted Young to begin exploring digital art. She has since worked with local and national businesses, state politicians, and had political pieces featured in international news publications. Young has since resumed her wire sculpting with new intensity, and now incorporates carpentry and recycled materials into many of her pieces. In spite of her broadening media and subject matter, however, she continues to sculpt her much-loved wire horses.

We’re please to announce the winner of these year’s Sweet Pea Festival adult t-shirt design contest. 

Ghassane Moutaoukil is a graphic designer, illustrator, printmaker, and typographer based in Bozeman, Montana, and Washington, DC. An alumnus of Montana State University, he has long admired the Sweet Pea Festival and submitted his designs in several contests over the years. This year, his T-shirt design — featuring his own custom font — was selected as the winning entry, drawing inspiration from the natural beauty and artistic spirit of Bozeman, blending bold typography, vibrant colors, and a mix of contemporary and traditional design influences.  Passionate about celebrating community and creativity, Ghassane uses his art to connect with others and to honor the enduring spirit of the Sweet Pea Festival.

We’re proud to reveal the winner of this year’s Sweet Pea Festival kids’ t-shirt design contest, Bentley Michael!

Bentley is a student at Sacajawea Middle School and plays the Trombone in his school’s band. In addition to his love for music, Bentley is learning German and enjoys skiing and biking with his family. His favorite part of Sweet Pea is the incredible music that brings the festival to life.
