GENESEO, N.Y., Jan. 23, 2025 — The Board of Elections (BoE) is calling on Livingston County students in grades 5-12 to flex their creative muscles and participate in the Second Annual “I Voted” Sticker Design Contest.
Aimed at promoting and increasing participation in local elections, the BoE is asking students to create a unique logo design that includes the words “I Voted.” BoE officials will print the winning entry on circular two-inch stickers given out at polling sites on election days and also use the design for digital graphics promoting upcoming elections. All submissions are due to the BoE by March 31, 2025.
“Our fist contest last year was a huge success with hundreds of local students sending in their incredible artwork,” said Livingston County Board of Elections Commissioner Gary Nageldinger. “We’re hoping this year’s contest continues to raise awareness for our elections process and inspires increased civic engagement among our younger residents.”
Last year’s “I Voted” Sticker Design Contest winner was Johnathan Rudney of Mount Morris. A fifth grader at the time, Rudney’s winning design was handed out as a sticker by poll workers at all county election locations during voting throughout the year.
Students or their teachers may submit finished artwork in photo, PDF, PNG, JPG or JPEG file formats no larger than one gigabyte in size to election@co.livingston.ny.us before the March 31 deadline. Visit the county’s website for a full list of contest rules. The BoE will select the top five entries and place them online for a final public vote during the month of April 2025. The winning design will appear on election-related materials until the November 2026 general election when a new design will be chosen in the next “I Voted” sticker design contest.
