Digital Sticker Challenge
One of the most exciting new things to come to your iPhone is digital stickers. Like the standard emojis available in many iOS apps, digital stickers are perfect for adding a little something extra to your conversations. Millions of people all over the world are downloading stickers packs from the app store and using them thousands of times a day, and they could be sharing your art. Since we absolutely love stickers, we thought the next best step would be to introduce digital stickers designed by Redbubble artists. Having said that we had a contest!
Over 4 weeks we issued artists a sticker challenge that took place on Instagram. Each week the idea was to create new stickers centered around popular interests, social trends, and general emoji styles. Winners of each contest were awarded $25 and the chance to be featured in the iMessage app store as a free sticker pack.
See the winners of each challenge below, as well as a link to the free digital sticker packs.
For reference, here are the full terms and conditions.

Here are some tips we gave to help when designing digital stickers.
- Stickers will be shown on a small screen so stick to a 1:1 ratio, stickers that are too tall or wide won’t work well.
- Stickers should be conversational. Focus on expressions, reactions, and elements that make a quick impact.
- Stickers should have transparent backgrounds just like the vinyl stickers. See some sticker best practices here.
- Digital stickers will also be available as vinyl stickers on the site, so they should meet our sticker guidelines.
While the contest is now closed, you can still download the Digital Sticker Template, seen below.
Download our new Digital Sticker Template (Example Below) – The PSD version works much like our previous template, and the text bubbles are also editable.
