The City of Fairfax Office of Elections and Commission on the Arts invite all school-aged students in Fairfax City to design the City’s next “I Voted” and “Future Voter” stickers. This contest is open to all grades K-12 students who live in the City of Fairfax, attend public or private school in the City, or reside and are homeschooled within the City.
The “Future Voter” sticker contest is only for students in grades kindergarten through sixth. The “I Voted” sticker contest is for students in grades seven through 12. The contest began in January and will run for just a few more weeks.
All forms of artwork must be received on or before April 12; late entries will not be accepted. No entry fee is required. Participants must submit their original artwork, plus an entry form containing a signature of consent by a parent or a legal guardian.
“The purpose of the voting-sticker contest is to engage and teach students about their civic duties,” explained Fairfax City Registrar Wannicha Rojanapradith. “By their participating in designing the ‘I Voted’ and ’Future Voter’ stickers, we hope to instill long-term civic engagement and encourage students to vote regularly once they become eligible to do so.”
