VoteHillsborough Voter Registration and Art Contest

Craig Latimer holding I Voted Sticker

The Hillsborough County Supervisor of Elections is challenging students to design a new ‘I Voted’ sticker for Hillsborough County voters.


“Our voters LOVE getting their ‘I Voted’ sticker and I know they’ll be especially excited to get a unique sticker designed by one of our talented high school students.”  
 – Supervisor of Elections Craig Latimer

Here's What We Are Asking You to Do

It’s simple – design a new ‘I Voted’ sticker for Hillsborough County voters. The first-place winning design will be reproduced as 2”x2” round stickers and given to voters who vote early or drop off their mail ballot during the two weeks leading up to Election Day for the 2024 Primary and General Elections.

Here's What We'll Do

We will select three finalists and one will be named the grand prize winner. All of the finalists will be recognized at a School Board meeting and receive prizes from our contest sponsors. The art will also be featured on our social media channels, in displays at our offices and in other outreach efforts conducted by the Hillsborough County Supervisor of Elections Office. 

Sponsors

The Tampa Bay Lightning, The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Busch Gardens are sponsoring this contest and will provide the prizes. We’re thrilled to have their support for this program!
