"So it didn’t actually take me long to come up with a design. I knew I wanted to do something that represented New Hampshire, and I also wanted to incorporate the element of the mountain because that’s like something New Hampshire is kind of like famous for, that would be something people would recognize and like know what that is and know it’s like from New Hampshire."

STORYLINE:
Whether scenic or slightly sinister (angry werewolf, anyone?), the designs on the front of “I Voted” stickers are attracting a lot of attention this year. But have you ever considered the back of your Election Day souvenir?
Two years ago, a New York county’s stickers featuring a wild-eyed crab-like creature created by a 14-year-old boy became an online sensation. This year, the smash hit – one of nine designs distributed in Michigan – depicts a werewolf shredding its shirt in front of an American flag. The 12-year-old designer declined an interview request, but other young artists described rewarding experiences.
In Milton, New Hampshire, 10-year-old Grace was treated like a celebrity when she visited the polls for the state’s presidential primary in January and town elections in March.
“I definitely did see a difference in everyone’s attitude, like everyone seemed happier and more excited to vote because they’d get a cool sticker that I designed,” she said. “And I really think it was cool that I made an impact on the way people vote and how they feel about voting.”
New Hampshire’s contest was open to fourth graders, and more than 1,000 submitted entries. Grace, whose design features the state’s fallen but not forgotten Old Man of the Mountain rock formation, has since become penpals with one of the other two winners.
While Grace settled on her design quickly, 11-year-old Rilynn drafted three versions and had her family vote on their favorite. The winner? A moose standing on a ledge overlooking colorful fall foliage and the state’s highest mountain.
Like Grace, she was excited to see her stickers in action earlier this year.
