Tyler Genaille / Winnipeg
Tyler's description of the entry:
I know what it's like to have a disability. But I also know that I matter and count. Even though some of us have challenges we should all be treated like equals with the right to vote if we want to. I hope my poster gives the message that we ALL matter.
Text description of the poster developed by the AANM:
This is a poster featuring hand drawn images in pen and pencil crayon. The image shows three people holding up a sign that says “We are all equal people, our vote counts, WE MATTER” the lettering is black and “WE MATTER!!” has different colours of the rainbow. Behind the sign is a rainbow and the three people are standing on grass with a few flowers. The person on the left is a white man in a wheelchair.

Brenda Giesbrecht / Winnipeg
Brenda's description of the entry:
Punchy and attention-grabbing - This poster highlights the 5 main priority issues of the Disability Matters Vote 2023 and Arts AccessAbility Network Manitoba. These short lines will help others understand what those with disabilities and their loved ones fight for daily and why voting matters.
Text description of the poster developed by the AANM:
This is a poster featuring lots of text. The poster looks like lined paper with a red boarder on the top and bottom. The text reads: “VOTE because: We need accessibility, We deserve basic needs, We desire employment, We require services, We demand skilled support. DISABILITY MATTERS”
Congratulations to the contest winners and thanks to all the gifted folks who sent in entries.
