The judges had the following comments to make about Nicolas' entry:
We selected this poster for the following reasons:
- It has a dynamic layout.
- It complements the existing World AIDS Day brand.
- It clearly states the copy line as the major graphic element.
- It includes playful and light-hearted elements.
Congratulations Nicolas, and to the other winners!
