Design our 2026 station sticker!
Calling all artists, cartoonists, and doodlers!!!
We’re looking for design pitches for our annual station sticker.
We stick these stickers all over the place — well, our listeners do. We send them as thank yous to fundrive donors, give them out at community events, and use them to patch up audio cables (kidding! or are we?).
We will provide a modest stipend for the winning sticker design of $100. The design will become fair use for the station for any purpose, but the artist can retain use as well (portfolios, etc.). This work will be seen far and wide, and will credit the artist in all the places we use the art!
To submit a sticker pitch please use the following guidelines:
Concept: We’re looking for designs that capture the power of community radio and the uniqueness of WGDR and WGDH. This year we are buying a brand new antenna and raising it on a new tower for WGDR. So, incorporating a stronger signal vibe would be cool!
Local art rocks: We are looking to uplift visual Vermont artists with this project, so please no submissions from out of state. Cartoonists, block printers, drawers, doodlers, go for it!
Specs: we need a print-ready, digital design. This can be either hand-drawn and well-scanned to a digital copy or a digitally designed graphic. It can be black and white or color. The image should be within a 4” by 4” design area (nothing much smaller than that). It can be a die-cut design (cut out like our 50th edition cows were (see below) or a traditional square or rectangle design. These are meant to be true, fun sticker art and do not need to have our logo incorporated. The sticker does need to include the following text: Central Vermont Community Radio, WGDR at 91.1 FM, WGDH at 91.7 FM, and WGDR.org. Besides that, have fun with it!
How to submit: Send your design idea, along with a very brief blurb about you, your work, and any helpful links to Llu@WGDR.org by Friday, February 20. We’ll ask programmers and listeners to vote on the winning designs, via our website, and announce the winning pitches as we go into the spring fundrive starting March 6!
Feel free to reach out to Llu with any questions too and spread the word to your arty friends! Thanks to our two past sticker designers, Diana Clarke & Rachel Lindsay (see their designs below).
