Del Norte High School junior Aubrey Vanderlip was honored by Bernalillo County Clerk Linda Stover for her design of a “I Voted” sticker. One of 12 APS finalists selected to have a sticker handed out during the election, Aubrey’s design featured the phrase, “I Voted” with the Zia symbol taking the place of the “o” in “Voted”.
“My family was telling me to try and make something really eye-catching, and I was thinking of doing something New Mexico-related.” She decided to feature the Zia symbol and a yellow background on her sticker, reminiscent of the state flag. “When I heard there were students all across Bernalillo County that entered, I thought it was really cool that there’s so many designs out there,” she said. “I thought mine was really eye-catching and simple, and I was hoping that I would be one of the top finalists.”
Aubrey received a message from her teacher informing her that she was selected as one of the 12 finalists to have a sticker handed out during the election. “I was really honored and happy,” she said. “It was such a cool thing to be a part of.” In addition to being recognized at the art show, Vanderlip and her family were also invited by Stover to be honored with a proclamation during a Bernalillo County Commission meeting.
