PPIHC 2025 poster art winner announced

(COLORADO SPRINGS) — The Broadmoor Pikes Peak International Hill Climb (PPIHC) has announced the winner of its poster art contest.

PPIHC said the theme of the 2025 Poster Art Contest was “156 Turns to Glory.” The winner was Tim Cribbs of Colorado Springs with his piece entitled “Mouton Climber.”

“I chose Michèle Mouton and her Audi Quattro as my subjects, probably the most iconic car and driver combination in Pikes Peak’s long history. Her historic victory in ‘85 marked a turning point, raising the stakes and transforming the event into a truly international battle for glory,” said Cribbs.

“My goal was to capture the raw aggression and determination of the drivers as they battle for control of both the track and their cars. No place is this more apparent than in the tight corners of Pikes Peak, where the momentum of the car comes into direct conflict with the will of the driver.”

“This is our third annual art contest that was started as part of our Tom Osborne Community Outreach efforts,” shared PPIHC CEO Melissa Eickhoff. “It’s one of the many activations we do to honor his contribution to the community. The theme proved popular with local artists, as we received nearly two dozen submissions, so choosing one overall winner was no easy task. We’re pleased to offer free copies of the winning poster at Fan Fest, as well as the $1,000 cash prize to the artist.”

Limited copies of the winning poster signed by Tim Cribbs will be available for free at Fan Fest on June 20. Starting on Wednesday, May 7, fans can vote for their favorite design from the six honorable mention submissions on PPIHC social media.
