There were so many wonderfully creative designs submitted, and we want to let all the more than 110 entrants know how difficult it was for the jury panel to narrow it down to the nine finalists. So many of the designs would have made fantastic stickers, and we congratulate all of the students!
Stickers will be distributed outside the early voting poll site at 220 Henry Street (entrance on Madison Street) during NYC's early voting period October 24-November 1. Even if this location is not your early voting poll site, we hope you'll stop by to pick up stickers!
We want to extend our deep thanks to all the parents, teachers and staff who mentored students or otherwise supported this historic effort. We hope the contest sparked lots of good discussions around classrooms and dining room tables about why voting matters. We also hope that all the talented artists that participated will become lifelong advocates for voting. (And that they keep on drawing!)
To celebrate, the world-renowned New Museum on the Lower East Side has graciously offered to host a reception to honor all students, parents, faculty, staff and art-world professionals who contributed their time and talent.
Please join us on Friday October 30 from 4:30 pm – 6:00 pm at the New Museum, 235 Bowery for light refreshments and soft drinks for this free event. (flyer below)
An informal ceremony will begin at 5:00.
We hope to see you then!
