The Allegheny County Elections Division is giving young, local artists a chance to shine with its first “I Voted” sticker contest, now accepting submissions until the end of December. The event is a call to action for students in grades 9-12 who reside in Allegheny County, urging them to put their creative visions onto a 2-inch canvas that encapsulates the civic spirit without a slant of partisanship. High schoolers have until midnight on December 31 to send in their electronic entries, which must include the phrase “I Voted” and adhere to a strict prohibition on copyrighted images or trademarks, as per the guidelines found at alleghenycounty.us/stickercontest.
A democratic showcase awaits as the top 10 sticker designs will be subject to the public eye, with voting from January 6 to January 27, 2025, according to Allegheny County press release. This process gives voice to the community's aesthetic and civic preferences, leading to an emblem that will represent and preserve the sanctity of the vote in the upcoming 2025 elections.
Those interested in enacting a small piece of history can find contest rules and submission details on the election division's website, where the entry form awaits.
