Below are the 16 finalists in the 2010 poster contest, starting with Team 16 (Logan High School): Colin Cunnigham, Erick Popca, Meggan Alston, & Tam Kingsford
We depict with different ladders the different career choices and journeys people pursue in life. All of us fall out of the ladder at some point. When that happens, we can keep trying or go into depression if we don't. The skeleton at the bottom with the sign "Will work for food" warns against daydreaming and giving up trying.
Team 14 (Fast Forward Charter High School): Adam, Tarryn, & Kaden
Team 13 (Logan High School): Brayden Ellis, Kesace Watanegi, & Lim Ayala
We show what sacrifices are being made by parents especially those who cannot be there for their children on important occasions. Parents who are lacking in education have to fight for their basic survival working unsociable hours and in low-paying jobs in the factories. It can happen to any of us if we do not study hard. We want to have more education and less debt so we can create a better future for our own children.
Team 12 (Logan High School): Al Bendal, Jose Salgado, Magali Molina, & Padea Hale
As teenagers and adults we all need to learn to be independent and capable of earning our own living. A good mentality will make a good economy!
Team 11 (Logan High School): Noelle Johnson and teammate
A good education will boost our chances of getting a good job. Determination and hard work motivate us to keep searching until we get a job, and then help us keep the job.
Team 10 (Logan High School): Courtney Morales, Garrett Hanke, Porter Simmons, & Taylor Bjcerk
The economy may be bad but it can only bring us down if we let it. We all have a choice to be employed or not. We can choose to work hard and to take necessary risks we have not taken before. Our past choices determine the choices of our future employment. We are getting ready to go to college so it is probably the most important time in our lives when it comes to determining our future employment. Now is the time to seize the day and choose what we want to become.

Team 9 (INTECH at USU Innovation Campus): Austin Olson, age 14, 9th grade; Kaylor Pierce, age 15, 9th grade Daniela Chavez, age 17, 11th grade & Margaret Elaine Robison, age 14, 9th grade
Our poster shows some aspects of the economy, mostly talents of individuals. It shows people doing things that they love and working toward their goals with hard work and integrity. It reminds us that now is the time to act, especially in a troubled economy such as today.

Team 8 (Mountain Crest High School): Dave Hall, age 17, senior; Marco Reyes, age 16, sophomore; Savanah Trevillian, age 16, junior; Steve Thomas, age 16
Team 7 (Mountain Crest High School): Braydon Friedli, age 17, junior; Michael Grodkowski, age 16, junior; Randon Banham, age 17, senior; Zerin Bates, age 18, senior
We try to point out that appropriate attire in one workplace may not work so well in another. Dress and appearance can show how much you care about your job and yourself. People should dress appropriately for their occupation.
Team 6 (Mountain Crest High School): Camereon Sandberg, age 16, sophomore; Josiah Maughan, age 18, senior; Taylor Bradley, age 18, senior; Xavier Barriga, age 16, sophomore
This poster is viewed as what you do not want to experience after you graduate. We introduced a horror element because we, as teens, know how scary it is to graduate without a job. This will induce a strong emotion because all students know this feeling. Therefore, they will want to gain the necessary skills to help them get a job.
Team 5 (Mountain Crest High School): Austin Johnson, age 16, sophomore; Maddy Booth, age 16, sophomore, Michael Leishman, age 16, sophomore
We decided to use the evolution of man as our theme because we wanted to show that we want to progress in life. We show the irony of reaching our potential then reducing ourselves to less than what we can be. We need to reach for success not fall for failure.
Team 4 (Mountain Crest High School): Andrew Keith, age 17, Junior; Kyrie Brown, age 18, Senior; Maddie Carlsen, age 16, Sophomore; & Zach Syndergaard, age 15, Sophomore
“The Employable Man” represents all students who have worked hard to gain valuable characteristics and skills during their education. The poster lists many of the ideal traits or “superpowers” a student will need to survive in the real world.
Team 3 (INTECH Collegiate High School, USU Innovation Campus): Brendan Phelps, age 15, 9th grade & Holly Flann, age 15, 9th grade
This poster is supposed to show future hope and solutions to depression. It shows “community effort “swirling next to the world and a man looking forward to future jobs through a telescope.
Team 2 (INTECH Collegiate High School, USU Innovation Campus): Frank Tsai, age 15, 9th grade & Melissa Perez, age 17, 11th grade
Our design means a lot to us. But what is most important to us is, “If you help a person out, they can reach for their dream.” If you help someone out, you and that person will be happy because you have helped someone in need.
Team 1 (INTECH Collegiate High School, USU Innovation Campus): Daniela Chavez, age 17, 11th grade & Margaret Elaine Robison, age 14, 9th grade
Our poster is designed to be a sharp contrast of sadness and optimism. The flower amid the gloom of the gray is to symbolize that people can overcome the failure and losses life gives out, and still retain hope. The words are to be uplifting and to tell people that even though they are facing immense trials, to never quit and persevere through it.
