2025 Best of the Fest Winners

Vikas Malik | Adult

“Vikas was the best at the super busy east gate Saturday morning. He was friendly, made people laugh during a long wait time, and kept a smile on his face the entire busy shift. He was exactly the type of person that makes the city of Dublin so welcoming!”

Aarush Maddula | Youth

“Aarush picked up the job quickly and contributed directly to the success of the team. He had a great attitude, a hard work ethic and was able to jump right in again. I hope he comes back next year in this role and think he makes a great candidate for Best of the Fest.”

Autumn Skinner | Leadership

“Known for her unwavering commitment to the late-late Friday and Saturday shifts, Autumn quickly became a reliable fixture and was soon invited to join the Sharing o’ the Green HQ committee, where she now serves as a co-chair.”

Eric & Alyssa Griffin & Angelica Wyckoff | Family

“Eric and Alyssa stepped in seamlessly when their original role was no longer needed, taking on a demanding front-line position in Volunteer Headquarters with professionalism, accuracy, and steady positivity. Their willingness to adapt and lead under pressure made a meaningful difference. Their daughter, Angelica, also volunteered in the Sensory area on Saturday, and it’s clear that supporting others is a passion she brings wholeheartedly to her service.”
