The verdict is in! Mayor Jane Castor and her partner, Ana Cruz, have selected the winners of the #FaceTheFactsTPA fashion competition.
The PSA competition challenged the community to show how they embrace face coverings as an “essential, yet fashionable” part of any outfit in order to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The judges reviewed hundreds of submissions to select the winners based on categories like “Most Creative”, “Best Homemade” and more.
“It makes me proud to see folks getting creative and having fun while keeping our community safe,” says Mayor Jane Castor. “Everyone who is wearing a face mask and practicing COVID-19 safety is a winner in my book.”
Following a stiff competition, the winners are as follow:
