Here’s the winning design in Colorado’s digital ‘I Voted’ sticker contest

DENVER — The winner of Colorado’s 2024 “I Voted” digital sticker design contest was announced Monday.

The winning design was crafted by Cosmo Bell, a ninth-grader at Compass Community Collaborative School in Fort Collins, said Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold.

Bell’s design features rocks inspired by the Garden of the Gods and native plants from the arid regions of Colorado. In the right of the image, you can see Bell’s artist signature: Harold.

The new digital sticker will be sent to voters enrolled in BallotTrax once their general election mail ballot has been returned and counted.

Griswold said the digital ticker will also be featured on the Colorado Secretary of State website, social media channels, news releases and as part of a digital effort to encourage people to vote.

“I’m so excited to have my artwork chosen,” Bell said. “A family friend let me know about the competition and encouraged me to participate. I thought it would be fun, so I entered!”

“Congratulations to Cosmo for his amazing design!” Griswold said. “I’m so glad that Coloradans enrolled in BallotTrax can see and celebrate Cosmo’s wonderful artwork when they receive their digital ‘I Voted’ Sticker. My thanks to every Colorado high schooler who submitted a design for consideration.”

BallotTrax enables voters to receive notifications by phone, email or text about the status of their mail ballot, from the time it is mailed to the voter, to when it is received, and to when it is counted.

Nearly 2 million Colorado voters were enrolled in BallotTrax — more than 50% of the active electorate.
