We are collecting submissions for pin designs to be featured at the Democracy Festival for 2026! This contest is open to all high school students around New Hampshire. The first-place winner will receive $50 and a pin with their design!

The designs for the pins must be democracy related. Some examples could be the legendary Granny D, Voting Rights, Campaign Finance Reform, Free and Fair Elections, High School Voter Registration, or anything else that involves civic engagement.

Keep in mind, the designs will be printed on a 2 inch circular pin. There are no limits on the number of entries students can submit! 

If you are not a high school student, we need your help! Be sure to spread the word to your network! Students and teachers are very excited about this opportunity! Be sure to speak with them about it during the holidays!

TO SUBMIT A DESIGN, EMAIL: [email protected]

If you know any students, teachers, or members of your local school community, please share this information with them
