OFFICIAL STICKER DESIGN CONTEST

Design the Official Sticker for Electric Forest – and have your art tell stories for years to come!

This sticker is a piece of art worth a thousand words… a trip to Rothbury, the best days of summer, and all the memories that were made in The Forest.

The Official Sticker Design theme for 2026 is: Forest Harmony - Exploring balance and unity.

Forest Harmony explores the balance between nature, humanity, and imagination. This theme invites you to interpret The Forest ecosystem—where sound, movement, light, and life coexist in rhythmic unity.

HQ requests designs based on this theme, and the winning design will be featured as the Official Sticker of Electric Forest 2026 and included in all Wristband packages.
