Orange County Supervisor of Elections Student Sticker Contest Winners Announced
The Orange County Supervisor of Elections office ran their first student sticker contest this past school year (2021 – 2022). There were three winners, one each from elementary school, middle school, and high school. The elections office will be making the winning designs into I Voted stickers to use during the 2022 – 2023 school year for school events and elections.
The winning design for the Middle School category was created by Jacob, 12, who attends Water Spring Middle School. Jacob wrote: “It represents red, white and blue. The flag of America.”
The winning design for the High School category came from Isabella, 15, who attends Colonial High School. Isabella wrote: “This is a simple sticker design I made. It includes red, white, and blue (reminiscent of the American flag) to make it more visually appealing.” Supervisor Bill Cowles, left, with all student sticker contest winners. “We are always looking for ways to educate our students about, and engage them in, the election process,” said Bill Cowles, Orange County Supervisor of Elections. “The sticker contest is one more tool to get students excited about voting, and of course to remind their parents about the upcoming elections!” The winning design for the Elementary School category came from Linsa, 7, who attends Stone Lakes Elementary School. About her design, Linsa wrote: “I live in Florida. Florida’s orange is so good and famous all over the world. I recommend Florida’s orange with confidence. I’ll vote with confidence when I’ll be 18.”
Orange County schools can expect to see these stickers during the 2022 – 2023 school year. The elections office is always open to collaborating with Orange County schools to provide presentations, mock elections, office tours, and more.
