2025 Educational Trail Mail Design Winner and Finalists

Teagan R., age 12, Omaha, Nebraska                         2025 Education Trail Mail Design Contest Winner

This year’s theme, “Under the Burled Arch in Nome” brought us many fabulous Trail Mail Art Contest entries. Thanks to everyone who participated.

Teagan R., age 12, of Omaha, Nebraska has been selected as the artist for the 2025 Trail Mail envelopes.  Teagan’s design was selected by Jon and Jona Van Zyle to be printed on hundreds of envelopes that will be signed and carried down the trail by the 2025 Iditarod mushers. Join us in congratulating Teagan!

The envelopes, a fundraiser for the Iditarod Education Department, carry a class project from the teachers that purchased a spot on a sled. In Nome, the envelopes will be collected and sent back to the classrooms via U.S. mail, having traveled the Iditarod Trail by dog team.

You can see it was a tough decision.  Here is the other artwork that rounds out the Top 3. Click on each image to view them larger.
