Ulster County, New York, has announced the relaunch of its "I Voted" Sticker Contest, inviting young artists aged nine to 18 to participate. The contest encourages creativity in designing the sticker that will be distributed to voters on election day, November 4. Participants must ensure their designs fit within a two-inch diameter circle and include the words "I voted." The rest of the design is open to the artists' imagination. Submissions are due by Monday, June 30.
The initiative aims to engage young people in the democratic process by allowing them to contribute to the voting experience in a meaningful way. The contest not only fosters creativity but also raises awareness about the importance of voting among the youth.
The winning design will be featured on stickers handed out at polling places across Ulster County, offering young artists a unique opportunity to see their work in the hands of voters. This contest is part of the county's efforts to promote civic engagement and encourage participation in the electoral process.
