✅ I VOTED Sticker Design Competition ✅
The Washington County Clerk’s Office is working towards continued community engagement within the election process and is requesting student involvement in the creation of our 2024 “I Voted” sticker. The top 4 selected designs from students in grades K5-12 will be used to represent voters from all of Washington County. We will be using the designs to highlight the November 5, 2024 General Election, in addition to bringing awareness to elections throughout the following year. Voters will receive one of these specially designed stickers after they vote!
Who: School-aged students in grades K5-12 who are residents of Washington County are eligible to participate.
What: Design a logo that represents Washington County and/or the voting process that will be used to create an “I Voted” 2-inch sticker and digital graphic that will be used for the November 5, 2024 General Election. The phrase “I Voted” must appear somewhere in the design, but the rest of the design is up to you. Please use the template provided to submit your artwork.
When: All design submissions will be accepted from April 12, 2024 through May 31, 2024. The top “I Voted” sticker designs will be showcased on our voting portal for public viewing and voting during the month of July.
There will be 1 winner selected from each of the following school grade levels: K5-2, 3-5, 6-8, 9-12
