Collier County, Fla.—October 1, 2024: The Collier County Supervisor of Elections office is excited to announce their partnership with Collier County Public Schools and Champions For Learning for the 2024 Art for Democracy contest – a unique opportunity for student artists of all ages and backgrounds to celebrate civic engagement through their creative talents.
A $500 scholarship will be awarded to one winning entry submitted by a high school student and a $500 donation will be awarded to the art program at the school with the “Best of Show” entry. Ten additional runner-up entries will be featured in election materials including the “I Registered to Vote” sticker – a new addition to the Art for Democracy contest wherein students design a new sticker for future voter registration drives conducted by the Supervisor of Elections office.
The $500 awards are provided by Champions For Learning through the Chuck Mohlke Endowment Fund of the Community Foundation of Collier County. Mr. Mohlke left a legacy of respect, charity, kindness, and a commitment to civic engagement and a passion for learning.
“We are so excited to include the new ‘I Registered to Vote’ sticker in our contest this year,” – Melissa R. Blazier, Supervisor of Elections. “We receive hundreds of entries for the ‘I Voted’ sticker contest, so we look forward to seeing the unique designs that Collier County students artists create for this new sticker.”
A call for entries will take place between October 1 and November 11. Winning entries will be announced in December. For further information, please visit the Collier County Supervisor of Elections website at www.CollierVotes.gov or call (239) 252-VOTE (8683).
