Contest featured two age-based categoriesThe rules were simple, with two categories: the &#8220;I Voted&#8221; category, which is for seventh through 12th grades, and the &#8220;Future Voter&#8221; category for kindergarten through sixth. Young artists celebrate their winning designs&#8221;I didn&#8217;t think I was going to win,&#8221; said Aubree Gross, a fifth grader whose design was selected for the &#8220;Future Voter&#8221; sticker.  &#8220;It was a bit competitive, but it made it fun,&#8221; said high school junior Elise Stoner, who created the winning &#8220;I Voted&#8221; sticker.  Gross described her design, saying, &#8220;Mine is a bear with a flag and some red and white stripes in the stomach.&#8221;  Stoner explained her sticker as &#8220;a combination between like a city landscape, a country landscape and the Pennsylvania flag. So, it was like a mix.&#8221;  Love of art inspired both entriesFor both students, entering the contest was an easy choice because of their love for art.  &#8220;I just wanted to do it; I like drawing,&#8221; Gross said.  &#8220;I&#8217;ve loved drawing since I was very, very little. As soon as I could color with crayons,&#8221; Stoner said.  Winning designs will be shared with votersWhile some artistic creations take days, Gross said her design came together quickly.  &#8220;How long did it take you to do the whole thing?&#8221; Gross was asked.  &#8220;Like 20 minutes,&#8221; she replied.  Stoner shared that her friends were supportive of her win. &#8220;They were really excited. One of them, like a couple of them, had entered, but they still thought I was cool that I won. Yeah, we were all excited together,&#8221; she said.  Now, their designs will be handed out at polling places across Lebanon County, giving voters a unique keepsake of their participation in the election.\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\tLEBANON COUNTY, Pa. \u2014 \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>Two students from Lebanon County have created the winning designs in the county&#8217;s first-ever voting sticker contest, which featured nearly 150 participants showcasing their artistic skills.  <\/p>\n<p>Contest featured two age-based categories<\/p>\n<p>The rules were simple, with two categories: the &#8220;I Voted&#8221; category, which is for seventh through 12th grades, and the &#8220;Future Voter&#8221; category for kindergarten through sixth. <\/p>\n<p>Young artists celebrate their winning designs<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I didn&#8217;t think I was going to win,&#8221; said Aubree Gross, a fifth grader whose design was selected for the &#8220;Future Voter&#8221; sticker.  <\/p>\n<p>\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\" aspect-ratio-original lazyload lazyload-in-view\" alt=\"two students from lebanon county have created the winning designs in the county's first-ever voting sticker contest, which featured nearly 150 participants showcasing their artistic skills.\" title=\"&quot;I didn't think I was going to win,&quot; said Aubree Gross, a fifth grader whose design was selected for the &quot;Future Voter&quot; sticker.\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/66d6411a-6aee-4d4e-b296-985b95677e59.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was a bit competitive, but it made it fun,&#8221; said high school junior Elise Stoner, who created the winning &#8220;I Voted&#8221; sticker.  <\/p>\n<p>\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\" aspect-ratio-original lazyload lazyload-in-view\" alt=\"two students from lebanon county have created the winning designs in the county's first-ever voting sticker contest, which featured nearly 150 participants showcasing their artistic skills.\" title=\"&quot;It was a bit competitive, but it made it fun,&quot; said high school junior Elise Stoner, who created the winning &quot;I Voted&quot; sticker.\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/80603e5a-62b8-4896-9b0b-b7c0b1b1e651.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Gross described her design, saying, &#8220;Mine is a bear with a flag and some red and white stripes in the stomach.&#8221;  <\/p>\n<p>Stoner explained her sticker as &#8220;a combination between like a city landscape, a country landscape and the Pennsylvania flag.
