(Statewide) – Indiana Secretary of State Diego Morales invites K-12 Hoosier students to participate in the “I Voted” Sticker Contest.
Morales’ office says it’s an opportunity for children across the state to get involved in the election process, and that the 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 ([email protected] ) or on a printed official entry form sent in by mail.
The mailing address is:
Indiana Secretary of State
I Voted Sticker Competition
200 W. Washington Street, Room 201
Indianapolis, IN 46204
Submissions will be judged by a panel, including agency staff and Secretary Morales’ wife, who is an artist and a supporter of youth engagement.
The competition will be divided into three groups based on grade level: Kindergarten-3rd grade; 4th-8th grades; and 9th-12th grades.
“Our ‘I Voted’ sticker is a symbol of pride for young Hoosiers to get involved in the election process. By inviting children to design stickers, we’re not only encouraging their creativity, also helping them learn about the importance of voting and civic engagement at a young age,” Morales said. “I encourage parents and teachers to spread the word about the contest. I can’t wait to see the sticker designs Hoosier kids create!”
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.

The deadline to submit an entry is September 30. Only one entry per student is permitted.
