Noguer wins All Star poster contest
Nataly Noguer of Cooperative was the winner of the SCISL All Star Games Poster Contest.
Second prize went to Diego Morales of Cooperative, and Thalia Rozenman of Cooperative took third. Cecelia Aponte of Cooperative and Katie Beth Wilcke received honorable mention.
The winners were selected from over 40 entries. The contest was dominated by Cooperative in large part because poster making was made into an art class project. The Jaguar campus is now practically papered with All Star Games posters.

The winners were selected from over 40 entries. The contest was dominated by Cooperative in large part because poster making was made into an art class project. The Jaguar campus is now practically papered with All Star Games posters.
Interestingly, three of the winners will also be playing in the All Star games -- Noguer, Morales, and Aponte. Wilcke does not play basketball, but is a soccer and track star. The concept of the scholar-athlete -- or perhaps the artist-athlete -- is evidently alive and well in the league.
The judge of the contest was Jorge Orias, retired head of communications for Petrobras in Bolivia. He is also a former editor of El Nuevo Dia, and author of the book "Exploradores of Bolivia, for which he also did the principal photography and page design.
These were his comments on Noguer's winning entry: "An attractive poster, of adequate proportions, with well drawn letters. Because of the style "agrupada" of the text, the message of the event is transmitted "con niditez y dinamismo." The basketball, appearing as the focal point on the right side of the poster, clearly represents the sport involved."
Of Morales second-place entry, Orias said, "It's distinguished by the originality of the design, based on the form of a star drawn in outline inside the ball, which serves as background for the display of information about the event. The careful drawing of the letters also deserves praise, as well as the interplay of the colors chosen."
Regarding Rozenman's third-place entry, he said, "An adequate balance of text and graphics well drawn in on the blue background bordered in red. The name of the event, the date and the hour were presented with clarity. The horizontal shape of the rectangle permitted the incorporation of graphic elements (the basket and ball spinning on a finger) to break the monotony of the text."
On Cecelia Aonte's honorable mention entry: "A good use of white space to give "air" to the composition and to facilitate the reading of the message. The colors of the letters has been well chosen, but the design of the text is unimpressive and conventional."
On Katie Beth Wilcke's honorable mention entry: "A lot of thought and creativity went into this. The use of photographic images was a good idea, but the images aren't big enough to get the viewer's attention."
