How to Participate
Participation in our Junior Sticker Badge Giveaway is simple and straightforward. We’ve designed a three-step process that makes it easy for any eligible organization to apply. Our goal is to distribute these badges to agencies that will use them effectively to build positive community relationships. The application takes just minutes to complete, and selected organizations receive 500 free junior sticker badges featuring their custom design. Follow these three simple steps to submit your organization for consideration.
Fill Out Your Application
The first step in participating in our Junior Sticker Badge Giveaway is completing the online application form. The form is designed to be straightforward and take less than 10 minutes to complete. Provide your organization’s basic information, including name, type of service, contact details, and a brief description of your agency. Be sure to include your shipping address where the junior sticker badges should be sent if your organization is selected.
Upload Your Design
After completing the basic information, you’ll need to upload your organization’s logo or badge design. This should be the official emblem that represents your agency to the public.

The final step is explaining how your organization plans to use the junior sticker badges. Describe the specific community events, school programs, or public outreach initiatives where you’ll distribute the badges. Detail how these badges will help build positive relationships with your community, particularly with children. Organizations with clear, thoughtful distribution plans that demonstrate community impact will receive priority consideration.

Artwork Requirements
High-quality artwork is essential for creating professional junior sticker badges that represent your organization effectively. The design you submit will be adapted to the circular junior badge format while maintaining its essential elements and recognition value. Our goal is to produce badges that children will treasure and that proudly represent your organization in the community. To ensure the best possible results, we’ve established clear guidelines for artwork submission and offer complimentary design assistance when needed. Review these requirements carefully before uploading your design.
Technical Specifications
For optimal reproduction quality, all submitted artwork should meet these technical specifications:
- File format: PNG or JPG (PNG preferred for logos with transparent backgrounds)
- Resolution: Minimum 300 dpi (dots per inch)
- Color mode: RGB or CMYK (RGB preferred for digital submissions)
- Size: Minimum dimensions of 1000 x 1000 pixels
- File size: Maximum 25MB
- Background: Transparent background preferred for emblems and logos
We strongly recommend submitting the highest quality version of your emblem available to ensure the best possible reproduction on the junior sticker badges.
Design Considerations
When selecting or preparing your artwork, consider these important design factors:
- Simplicity: Designs with clean, bold elements reproduce better at small sizes
- Contrast: Strong contrast between colors ensures visibility and impact
- Text: Minimize small text that may become illegible when reduced
- Details: Fine details may be lost in reproduction; focus on core elements
- Recognition: The design should be immediately recognizable as your organization’s emblem
- Child-friendly: Consider how the design will appear to and be perceived by children
If your standard emblem is highly detailed, you may wish to submit a simplified version specifically for the junior sticker badge application.
Design Assistance
If you don’t have artwork that meets these specifications, we can help. Our design team offers complimentary assistance to ensure your junior sticker badges look professional and represent your organization effectively. Services include:
- Simplifying complex emblems for better reproduction
- Adjusting colors for optimal print quality
- Removing backgrounds from existing images
- Enhancing low-resolution artwork
- Creating child-friendly adaptations of official emblems
To request design assistance, simply check the appropriate box on the application form and provide any specific instructions or preferences. Our designers will contact you to discuss your needs before finalizing any artwork.
