CALGARY—Lexi Hilderman hopes the dark, storm clouds in the background of the 2021 Calgary Stampede poster are in the past.

The 22-year-old Calgarian’s artwork of a young Indigenous dancer with rainbow ribbons flowing from her costume, Rocky Mountains and dark clouds in the background, was unveiled Tuesday as the winning placard for next year’s Stampede, although it has yet to be determined if the event will go ahead.
