Creative Kentucky Kids! Submit Your Design For The 2026 “I Voted” Sticker

I LOVE to see kids being creative. Not only is it an important life skill, but it also makes the world a brighter place. Art makes life more fun and can teach valuable lessons.

Like the importance of participating in the democratic process. Exercising your right to vote is a freedom that shouldn't be taken lightly.  It is your voice as an American citizen.  It is how you can try to shape the world around you into the one you'd like to live in and leave for the future. AND you get a little treat at the end. Your "I Voted" sticker!

Kentucky's 2024 "I Voted" Sticker Contest Was Great

Last year, Secretary of State Michael Adams hosted Kentucky's first contest for the design of the 2024 "I Voted" sticker. Let me tell you, the participants did NOT disappoint. From horses and bald eagles to the lizard villain from Spiderman, the imaginations of kiddos in the Commonwealth are on point. You can read more (and see the EPIC finalists) here.

I mean, what says "Civic Duty" better than a lizard man, am I right?

How to Submit a Design For the 2026 "I Voted" Sticker Contest.

If you know a creative kiddo, they can submit their artwork for the 2026 "I Voted" sticker contest here. I say "kiddo," but the contest is open to all Kentucky students from kindergarteners to seniors. The deadline for consideration is May 23rd at 5 PM Eastern time. 4 PM Central.

How Will the Winner of the 2026 "I Voted" Sticker Contest Be Chosen?

I can't wait to see all of the finalists for Kentucky's 2026 "I Voted" sticker contest! They will be chosen by the Secretary of State's Office to be displayed and voted on at the 2025 Kentucky State Fair. The winning sticker will then be printed and sent to participating counties for the primary election in May 2026. I swear, no matter how old I am, I'll always love a little prize for a job well done, especially if it's a pretty or fun sticker.
