I♡Youth2 x Sticker Ninja
We have a sticker vending machine in our youth arts studio & we’ve partnered with Portland-based sticker printer Sticker Ninja to bring you YOUTH-DESIGNED STICKERS!!!
How it works:
Portland, Oregon area artists age 18 & Under: submit a sticker design below!
A few times a year, we’ll post the submissions on our instagram, @ilyouth2 & folks can vote on their favorites!
Sticker Ninja will print 100 3x3" die cut stickers of the top voted design + 100 3x3" die cut stickers of one design chosen by ILY2's team! Each selected artist will get 50 stickers of their design—and the other 50 will go into the vending machine at I♡Youth2, where folks can come buy them!
In addition to the rotating youth designs, the vending machine hosts a selection of I♡Youth2 stickers, and a mix of cool stickers donated by rad adult artists in our community! All vending machine sales go toward the next round of youth stickers & keeping the project going!
If you want to donate stickers, come by the space or email daelyn@ily2online.com — we also have stickers all over our front counter if you want to come stick some on!
Submit A Sticker Design!
Submissions are always open!
Submissions made now through September 13th, 2025 will be voted on in September!
Some things to keep in mind when submitting a design:
It can be any shape!
It can be handmade art (drawing, painting, collage, etc), digital art, photography, or a combination!
The stickers will be printed 3” at their tallest point, by 3” at their widest point; so be sure your design will be clear at that size!
We have a scanner in our studio and can help the selected artists get their files print-ready! It’s okay to just upload a photo of your design at this phase.
If you want to think about fun things like glitter, and holographics, you can see Sticker Ninja’s printing options here! Your design can be printed as a “classic” die cut, or on anything in the “shiny” section!
