VOTE THAT JAWN POP-UP DESIGN LAB + ART CONTEST INFO
PURPOSE
K-12 students can't vote, but Fresh Artists believes students can use their artistic talents to inspire and motivate their families and neighbors to vote by designing a Vote That Jawn Jr. Logo!
#VoteThatJawn is a national nonpartisan, youth-driven organization that Amplifies the Youth Vote and Youth Voice through Art and Writing.
Fresh Artists, in partnership with #VoteThatJawn, created this art contest to introduce the concept that even really young kiddos and teens can be empowered to make a BIG impact in voter turnout for this election. Let’s get the next generation involved early, harness that energy, and give them purpose!
The 5 winning contestant's logos will be turned into decals, window clings, and merchandise that will be available on the #VoteThatJawn online store. Any proceeds from the merchandise will be used to amplify the youth vote.
DEADLINE:
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 7th 11:59pm EDT
