In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
The voting period will continue until January 23, offering a nearly three-week window for community members to participate in selecting the designs. The contest is open to all students residing in Washington County, from kindergarten through 12th grade, including those who are home-schooled. To ensure fair competition, student entries are divided into four distinct categories: Future Voter, Elementary School, Middle School, and High School. This structure allows for age-appropriate evaluation of the submitted artwork.
The “I Voted” Sticker Art Contest serves as a platform for Washington County’s youth to visually represent their thoughts on voting and the importance of civic engagement. By participating, students gain an early introduction to the democratic process, and the Board of Elections is looking forward to highlighting the artistic talents of the county’s young residents. The community’s involvement in the selection process underscores the collaborative spirit of this civic initiative.
To make their voice heard in selecting the future “I Voted” stickers, residents are urged to visit the provided online survey to view the submitted artwork and cast their vote. The online survey will remain accessible until 11:59 p.m. on January 23. Following the conclusion of the public voting period, the winning designs will be officially announced.
