Pour Back 2015 Finalists Announced

Thank you to everyone who submitted a project to Pour Back 2015. We received an impressive collection of initiatives that truly demonstrate what it means to design for good. While there were many submissions that we’d love to help fund, we can only select 3 finalists to move on to the next round. Congratulations to those selected. Our three finalists will present their projects to a panel of top Seattle creatives, who will award the $2500 grant.
