'I Voted' Sticker Contest

Calling All Young Artists: Help Design Monroe’s Next “I Voted” Sticker!

The City of Monroe's Clerk's Office is looking for creative minds ages 5–18 to design our next official “I Voted” sticker — the one voters will proudly wear during our upcoming November 4 election!

This fun, hands-on contest is a great way to spark curiosity and conversation about the election process. The winners will have their artwork printed on stickers and handed out to Monroe voters on Election Day to be worn by hundreds of proud Monroe voters. It's a great chance for your student to show off their artistic skills and help inspire the community to get out and vote!

Submit a design using the template linked at the bottom of the page, and the community will vote for their favorite. Winning designs will be turned into the official stickers used at polling locations.
