We are excited to announce that the Make it Stick sticker contest is now live!

If you’re the student who loves designing yearbook spreads, creating graphics for your staff or sketching ideas just for fun, this one’s for you.

Walsworth is excited to introduce Make It Stick, a student sticker design contest inviting student designers to show off their creativity for a chance to win cash and see their artwork featured in the Walsworth School Store.

Whether your style is bold, funny, minimal, illustrated or totally unexpected, there’s no theme and no limits!

What Is Make It Stick?

Make It Stick is a nationwide sticker design contest open to eligible students ages 13 and older attending a U.S. junior high, middle school, high school or college or university.

Students are invited to submit original sticker designs for a chance to earn cash prizes, receive professional recognition and potentially see their design sold as a sticker through Walworth.

This is a skill‑based contest judged by a panel of experts, designed to celebrate student creativity both in and beyond the yearbook classroom.

No Theme. No Limits.

Yearbook‑inspired graphics, trend‑driven typography, slang, jokes, icons or illustrations. There is no theme for Make It Stick. Whatever idea you have, run with it. Bold, clever, meaningful or unexpected, this contest is about trusting your creativity and making a sticker you’d want to use. If it sticks, it works!

Make It Stick is all about creative freedom. Students can submit designs inspired by life, pop culture, current trends or completely original ideas. The goal is simple: create something memorable that people would want to stick on a laptop, water bottle or notebook.

Why Enter?

Students who participate in Make It Stick have the opportunity to:

  • 💵 Win cash prizes for top designs
  • 🏆 Be judged by a panel of design professionals
  • 🛍 Have a winning design featured for sale nationwide
  • 🎓 Add real‑world recognition to a creative portfolio

It’s a chance to turn creativity into something tangible and share it beyond the classroom.

  • First place: $500 cash prize and certificate

  • Third place: $200 cash prize and certificate
