"Wings of the Year" Design Contest

Congratulations to Ellie Baudry!

Ellie's amazing wings can be viewed to the right.

We'd like to thank everyone who participated in this year's Wings of the Year contest. We look forward to next year!

Each year, Eagle Fest needs Wings!

We host a design contest each year for our Eagle Fest "Wings of the Year." Student designs and artists are encourage to submit when applications open in March each year. Last year's wings are displayed for your reference.

The winning design is placed on event promotional materials, signage, and possibly even merchandise!

"My design is inspired by the bluffs, a defining part of La Crosse and the experience at UWL. I chose to highlight Grandad Bluff because it has become a meaningful place during my time here, somewhere to hike with friends, unwind, and reflect. The natural beauty surrounding the campus has played a big role in making La Crosse feel like home. Through this design, I wanted to capture a personal connection to the area while representing a place that resonates with many students and the community." - Ellie Baudry
