WARSAW — The Kosciusko County Public Defender Agency announced on Friday the winner of its logo contest.

Aidan Ramirez, a freshman at Wawasee High School, submitted the winning design.

Chief Public Defender Jack C. Birch presented Ramirez with a certificate of recognition and a cash award on-site at the school.

The agency began the contest in early August, opening it to Kosciusko County high schools
school students in an effort to engage the community, allow students a chance to display their creativity, and be a good steward of taxpayer monies.

The contest drew submissions from Tippecanoe Valley High School, Lakeland Christian Academy, Wawasee High School, and Warsaw Community High School.

Birch said the winning design was chosen for its visual appeal, simplicity, and alignment with the mission of the Agency, which is to provide experienced legal representation to indigent clients, ensuring they have access to justice and protection of
their rights.

The agency defends its clients’ liberty, dignity, and rights throughout the legal process.
