Albany Is Calling On All Artists To Design The Next Voting Sticker

We're still a ways away from major elections here in Albany County, but politics never sleeps. It seems that no one can get along at the voting booth anymore, aside from one small thing...

We all love getting those small "I Voted " stickers, and it's even better when they're personalized. Now, Albany's giving you the chance to mark your place in history.

The requirements are simple: only students (both homeschooled and traditionally) are allowed to enter, every entry must have the words "I Voted" somewhere on it, they must be original pieces of art, and must be nonpartisan, showing no favoritism to one political party of the other.

Submissions are required to be able fit on a 2-inch sticker, and should be submitted as vector files, or high-resolution JPG files with a minimum resolution of 300 dpi.
