The challenge was

Use your art as a beacon for change.

Voting is democracy in its truest, simplest form.

Harness your creative power for change in our Vote Design Challenge! Voting embodies democracy in its purest form, and with the pivotal US presidential election on the horizon, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Every willing and eligible voter deserves the chance to cast their ballot with minimal barriers. This challenge not only celebrates the power of the vote but empowers you to make a real impact.

Whether you're driven by fervent passion or the solemn duty of civic participation, transform these sentiments into art. Could it be the collective voice of many, or the pivotal choice of one that shifts the scales? In a functioning democracy, even a simple checkmark can redraw the world. Use your designs as a beacon of change, illustrating the critical importance of voting.

Want to enhance the impact of your design submissions? Consider using the Causes feature in your shop to donate a portion of proceeds to Fair Fight, an organization dedicated to combating voter suppression. Through Election Day, Threadless will not just match but double match donations made to Fair Fight. Learn how to set this up in your shop by visiting our Causes Help Page. (Note: You can find Fair Fight under the Human Rights Cause.)

For more insights on this challenge, how to use Causes, and why your voice matters this election, check out our Creative Resources post.

While you’re here, if you’re not yet registered to vote in the US, we encourage you to do so—it’s quick and easy. For more information and to register, visit vote.org or HeadCount. Embrace this chance to show off your power for change, and let your art speak volumes!
