Don Gauger

Artist Don Gauger participated in the 2022 National Cryptologic Museum's Annual Steganography Contest and his submission was selected as the winner. Don has generously donated prints of this fantastic illustration for the Foundation to feature in a raffle. The image included on this page is of Don's "Knowledge is Power" illustration. Each illustration includes a hidden message. A key and solution image will be sent to those who receive a print via our raffles.

Don offered to sign and donate five of the numbered print reproductions of the winning illustration, "Knowledge is Power." (There are only 15 reproductions.) Three prints will be raffled at the NCF's 25th General Membership Meeting & Annual Symposium on May 9, 2023. One will be raffled at the 2023 Crypto Cup and one at the 2nd Annual Cocktails & Codebreakers event on October 4, 2023.
