PHILADELPHIA and OAKS, PA — SEI® (NASDAQ: SEIC) and the Philadelphia Phillies are teaming up for the second year to host a mural contest, inviting local artists to create a masterpiece for display above Ashburn Alley at Citizens Bank Park during the 2025 MLB season.
The contest encourages mural designs that reflect the theme “Connecting Communities,” emphasizing the Philadelphia region’s culture, bold spirit, and the importance of unity.
The winning artist will receive a $10,000 cash prize and have their artwork prominently featured at Citizens Bank Park. Additional perks include the chance to unveil the mural at a special event and be recognized on the field before a Phillies home game. The first and second runners-up will be invited to attend a Phillies game, and all contest submissions will be considered for display at SEI’s corporate headquarters in Oaks.

Leslie Wojcik, Head of Global Communications at SEI, shared the significance of the initiative, saying, “True change begins when we strengthen the bonds of our community. At the core of our partnership with the Phillies is a shared commitment to building the connections that affect positive change—and art brings people together in the same way sports do.”
Jackie Cuddeback, Senior Vice President of Partnership Sales and Corporate Marketing at the Phillies, echoed the sentiment. “This mural at our ballpark is more than just art—it’s a bridge that unites fans from all walks of life, blending diverse communities with a shared love for the game, a common spirit of pride in our great city, and a sense of belonging.”
The 2024 contest winner, Jose “Busta” Bustamante, earned recognition for his mural Next Generation, which depicted two children symbolizing the future of baseball and the community.
At the end of the 2025 season, the mural will be relocated to SEI’s corporate headquarters for continued display, further solidifying the connection between art, sports, and community.
