[**Denise Cabanero Sagmit**](https://detrinity.format.com)
Denny is a Filipino-Canadian illustrator and OCADu graduate based in Toronto, Canada.

#### **RUNNER-UP \| ART:**
[**Bree Rosberg**](https://bree-rosberg.format.com/) is a student at the Ontario College of Art and Design University studying Integrated Media with a minor in Photography. Her practice focuses on childhood memories and self-reflection through the medium of performative self-portraiture in both photo and video form. Through performance, her artistic practice functions to heal herself from the pieces of her past that she would have to otherwise let go.
The way in which Rosberg creates her work relies heavily on concept and intention with a strong will to perpetuate the importance of text and dialogue in relation to physical art. This translates into Rosberg's use of textiles and children's crafts transformed into sculpture installations where titles and statements are an essential aspect of the pieces.

[Cindy Tran](https://cindy-tran.format.com/) is a passionate emerging Toronto-based Graphic Designer with a deep love for creating visual experiences that communicate powerful narratives. Cindy enjoys exploring various media and pushing the boundaries of traditional design, from digital platforms to print. Whether it's branding, typography, or illustration, every project is approached with curiosity, enthusiasm, and a commitment to excellence. Her goal is to continuously evolve as a designer while delivering fresh, innovative solutions.
