INDIANA– Indiana Secretary of State Diego Morales is excited to invite young Hoosiers to participate in the “I Voted” Sticker Contest, an opportunity for children statewide to get involved in the election process.
This contest encourages creativity and civic engagement by challenging students to design “I Voted” stickers that will be handed out to voters at polls in November.
The contest is open to all Indiana students. Participants must agree to the official rules and submit their design via email (sticker@sos.in.gov ) or on a printed official entry form sent in by mail. Submissions are due by September 30, 2024.
“I would love to have a ton of entries from Lawrence County from every public, private, and homeschool student,” said Lawrence County Clerk Amy Voorhies.
The submissions will be judged by a panel that includes agency staff and Secretary Morales’s wife, an artist, and a supporter of youth engagement.
The competition will be divided into three groups based on grade level: kindergarten through 3rd Grade, 4th Through 8th Grade, and 9th Through 12th Grade.
“Our “I Voted” sticker symbolizes pride for young Hoosiers who want to get involved in the election process. By inviting children to design stickers, we’re encouraging their creativity and helping them learn about the importance of voting and civic engagement at a young age. I encourage parents and teachers to spread the word about the contest. I can’t wait to see the sticker designs Hoosier kids create!” said Diego Morales, Indiana Secretary of State.
The 1st Place winning design from each grade level will be featured on stickers distributed to voters on Election Day, November 5. 1st Place Winners will be invited to meet with Secretary Morales in the Statehouse. 2nd and 3rd Place Winners from each grade level will receive social media recognition and be featured on the Indiana Secretary of State’s website. All winners will receive a certificate.
Visit the Indiana Secretary of State’s website for more details on the contest and guidelines. Only one entry per student is permitted.
