STUDENT STICKER CONTEST

New: Download Your Own Commemorative Sticker Image
Nashville, you LOVE your special-edition voter sticker! During the August 6 election, several polling locations ran out of the popular sticker, designed by Hume-Fogg Academic Magnet High School senior Milka Negasi to commemorate the Women's Suffrage Centennial. Don't worry; we'll have more stickers available at voting locations for the November 3 election. Until then, we're offering a downloadable version for you to print and enjoy—non-commercially—in celebration of voting rights. Hover over the image and select the arrow to download.
Contest
To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment guaranteeing U.S. women the right to vote, Metro Arts and the Davidson County Election Commission sponsored a sticker design contest for Davidson County students in grades 7-12. The contest received 75 entries, which a citizen selection panel narrowed down to 8 finalists. More than 2,300 Nashvillians voted for their favorite sticker.
The winning design, by Hume-Fogg Academic Magnet High School senior Milka Negasi, was printed on stickers for distribution at every early voting location and election day precinct in Davidson County for the August and November 2020 elections.
