PUTNAM — The competition was intense but the winners of the town clerk’s I Voted Sticker Design contest were crowned at the Oct. 6 Board of Selectmen’s meeting.
The contest, the brainchild of Town Clerk Christine Bright, praised the fifth and sixth grade and the seventh and eighth grade Putnam students who entered the second annual contest. “It’s really hard to put yourself out there as a young person, to have yourself being judged by total strangers.” She added, “Whether you win or not, it doesn’t matter. You did an excellent job. They (the students) should all be really proud of themselves.”
Bright said the point of the contest is to have a little fun while introducing future voters to the Democratic process. The winning two stickers will be printed and given out to voters after they vote.
The three finalists in the fifth and sixth grade category were: Scarlett Bartolf, Kennedy Healey and Madison Desrosiers. Desrosiers was the winner.
The three finalists in the grades seven and eight were: Olivia Gordon, Bethany Mayo and Lydia Josephine Martel. Martel was the winner.
