Posted

BROOKINGS —The Brookings City Clerk’s Office announces its first “I Voted” sticker design contest to be used for the April 8 combined municipal / school board election. The contest is open to all youth 18 years of age and younger who reside within the City of Brookings.

 All entries must be submitted by noon Friday, Feb. 28. Designs must contain the phrase “I Voted” on a 2-inch circular design, be original designs, be non-partisan, and must not include any copyright images, trademarks or artificial intelligence. Participants must have a parent or guardian’s consent.

 “Local elections are just as important as national elections,” said City Clerk Bonnie Foster. “We want to get people excited to vote on April 8, which is why we’re launching the ‘I Voted’ sticker design contest. We can’t wait to see the creative designs our youth artists submit.”

 Designs will be reviewed by a panel of judges comprised of City Council members. The winning design(s) will be distributed as a sticker during the April 8 combined municipal / school board election. The winners will also receive recognition at the Brookings City Council meeting on March 25.

 “This is a fun way to get our youth excited about the idea of voting,” said Mayor Ope Niemeyer. “It not only sparks their interest in our electoral process, but also showcases their creativity and sense of local pride. I’m excited to see what they come up with.”

 Designs should be submitted in person at or mailed to the City Clerk’s Office at the Brookings City & County Government Center, 520 Third St., Suite 230.
