As we reflect on 11 heart-pounding seasons of The Walking Dead, we cannot forget to celebrate the fans that embraced the characters we've come to love so dearly. Before the countdown to the final 8 episodes began, we challenged TWD fans to flex their creative muscles for a chance to win a trip to the TWD Finale Event in Los Angeles… and they really delivered! 200+ fans designed a range of undead masterpieces using the TWD x Canva Collection’s suite of templates and filters. Five talented winners were selected to fly out to Los Angeles to attend the TWD Finale Event. We’re excited to share the five winners and their amazing artwork:  

• April D. from Katy, Texas
• DeanaMarie G. from Macomb, Michigan
• Kailynn H. from Pillager, Minnesota
• Laura B. from Toronto, Ontario
• Zainap B. from Hillsborough, New Jersey

Not only were the winners able to experience the TWD Finale Event, but their artwork was also showcased on-site for all to see! Plus, Chris Hardwick gave a special shoutout to the winners during a live segment of Talking Dead.

The Fan Art Contest may be over, but your love for The Walking Dead doesn’t have to end! Together, AMC and Canva launched four new selfie filters to celebrate the series finale and to get you excited for more adventures from The Walking Dead Universe.
