The winning artist will:

Leslie Wojcik, Head of Global Communications at SEI, said:

“True change begins when we strengthen the bonds of our community. At the core of our partnership with the Phillies is a shared commitment to building the connections that affect positive change—and art brings people together in the same way sports do. It’s through these connections and acts of giving that we create a ripple of positivity that can help shape a better future for all."

Jackie Cuddeback, Senior Vice President of Partnership Sales and Corporate Marketing at the Phillies, added:

“This mural at our ballpark is more than just art—it's a bridge that unites fans from all walks of life, blending diverse communities with a shared love for the game, a common spirit of pride in our great city, and a sense of belonging. We’re excited for this year’s contest to highlight sharing the power of artistic expression with our fans in the 2025 season."
