Halo Burger has named the winner of its billboard design contest and is also celebrating 100 years of serving the Flint, Michigan area.

The winner of the $1,000 scholarship to Mott Community College is Joseph Buffington, according to a press release.

Once students submitted artwork for the contest the brand showcased the designs to social media channels and both the brand and the college online audiences had the opportunity to cast votes.

As this was the first year Halo Burger has offered a design scholarship, they conducted a two-part voting process. The first part was to let the community vote on the top designs, and based on the top contestants they collaborated with MCC to decide the final winner.

"We asked our social media followers to vote on the designs and expected to have a few top contestants. We received an outpour of votes, and the majority were for Joseph Buffington's design. There were so many outstanding designs submitted by Mott Community College students, but Joseph's design really resonated with our audience," Domenique Annoni, Halo Burger's marketing manager, said in the release.

Halo Burger's history in Flint dates back to 1923 when the company sold its first burger on Harrison Street out of a box-car style wagon.
