In honor of Nevada’s 150th birthday, the Nevada Sesquicentennial Commission invites all Nevadans to participate in choosing the design for the fourth Sesquicentennial commemorative medallion.
This medallion, the final in the series of four being produced throughout the year, will feature the winning design voted on by Nevadans. Voting on Nevada150.org began July 23, which marked 100 days until Nevada Day, and ends Thursday, August 7, 2014.
Participants will have four choices that feature a broad range of images and topics that represent the State: Hoover Dam – Then and Now; Lake Tahoe; Discover Both Sides of Nevada; and the Great Basin National Park.
As with the first three medallions, the Nevada 150 logo will be on the reverse side.
Voting will be available online through the Nevada150.org homepage; local libraries will also offer access to voting online; ballots will be available at the reception desk at the Grant Sawyer State Office Building in Las Vegas; and participants can also pick up a ballot in person at County Treasurer’s offices throughout the State.
All ballots that are mailed must arrive at the Lieutenant Governor’s office by Thursday, August 7 and can be sent to 101 N. Carson Street, Suite 2, Carson City, NV 89701, faxed to (775) 684-7110 or emailed to lafrederick@ltgov.nv.gov with Medallion in the subject line.
The winning design will be announced at the minting ceremony in Carson City, September 3, 2014. When participants vote they can also be entered into a drawing to win a silver medallion of the winning design. The winner of the drawing will be invited to mint their medallion at the minting ceremony in Carson City.
