Postcard

Design Contest

Postcards4VA is teaming up with our good friends at the Virginia Women’s Summit for Political Engagement to run a postcard design contest.

We are looking for the next great postcard voters will put on their fridge!

We want positive, eye catching, ear ringing designs that will get voters to the polls in 2019 and finally flip Virginia Blue.  

Winners will receive free admission to the Women’s Summit, statewide recognition, and special prizes!

The winning designs will be showcased at the Women’s Summit and will be available for purchase online. Proceeds from the sale of the cards will support the grassroots effort to flip VA blue in 2019.

We want everyone to get involved: artists and non-artists alike. 

Here’s what you need to know about creating and submitting your design.
