Austin Thomas, a Seattle resident, has been named the winner of the Holland America Line 150th anniversary poster contest.
Fans were asked to create a poster commemorating Holland America Line's 150th anniversary, paying homage to the company's historic advertising posters. Thomas's prize is a seven-day Alaskan cruise for two in a balcony stateroom. "It perfectly reflects our past and the brand we are today.".
The jury, made up of members of the HAL team, selected Thomas' design for its variety of colors, nostalgic aesthetic and modernized interpretation of the brand.
