North Carolina - Durham County
Program Title
'I Voted' Sticker Contest
Program Summary
In August 2018, the Durham County Board of Elections collaborated with Durham County and the City of Durham's Neighborhood Improvement Services to create an 'I Voted' sticker competition to engage voters beyond casting a ballot. The first winning sticker was utilized for two years until the second sticker contest was held in the summer of 2020 for the next two years, beginning with the 2020 General Election. The recent winning sticker depicts a bull surrounded by stars and colors that are an interpretation of the Durham flag. Durham is known as the Bull City because of its history with tobacco companies and a product from the late 1800s called "Bull Durham Tobacco'.
Since this sticker design encapsulates so much of what Durham represents, it was the clear winner out of the final stickers. The artists of the top three sticker submissions received monetary prizes. The winner, in addition to a monetary prize, received a custom plaque that is presented by the Durham County Board of Commissioners at an official meeting (Delayed due to COVID-19).
